Jason M. Wirth is Professor of Philosophy at Seattle University. He is the translator of The Ages of the World by Schelling; the author of The Conspiracy of Life: Meditations on Schelling and His Time; and the coeditor (with Patrick Burke) of The Barbarian Principle: Merleau-Ponty, Schelling, and the Question of Nature, all published by SUNY Press.

"...a welcome addition to the burgeoning field of Schelling-studies and more general discussions on art, stupidity, religion and imagination … a gripping engagement with Schelling's philosophy beyond the often dry exegeses of his philosophical work. Jason Wirth is particularly capable of making Schelling relevant for contemporary discussions and Schelling's Practice of the Wild will undoubtedly become a vantage point to assess and discuss the fertility of Schelling's thought for a variety of subjects." — Philosophischer Literaturanzeiger"By thinking with and through Schelling on contemporary issues, Wirth is at the heart of the renaissance underway of Schelling's philosophy … In his magisterial work, Schelling's Practice of the Wild, Wirth brings this renaissance to a greater flowering by taking Schelling's thinking elsewhere, even beyond where it might have gone had it been the beneficiary of a century of criticism. In this respect, Wirth's book advances our philosophical heritage." — Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
