«Bliss Against the World will radically transform not just Schelling scholarship, but equally our very idea of modernity. Each page is pregnant with insights that upset our preconceptions about the constitution of the modern worldand, taken together, they announce Chepurin as one of the most interesting voices currently writing on German Idealism and Romanticism, secularity and Christianity, and the ways in which we try to justify this world we inhabit.»

Daniel Whistler, Professor of Philosophy, Royal Holloway, University of London

«Thanks to his commanding knowledge of Schellings work and his sophisticated understanding of contemporary debates around coloniality, racialization, and political theology, Chepurin shows that Schelling offers novel resources for addressing todays most pressing theoretical questions. After a half-century fixation on Hegel, Chepurin demonstrates how generative it would be for critical thought to be re-centered around Schelling.»
