Luis Fellipe Garcia

Luis Fellipe Garcia is a researcher at KU Leuven, currently funded by the Flemish Research Foundation (FWO) for a project exploring the contemporary relevance of classical German philosophers' approaches to nature. He previously held a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship at KU Leuven with a secondment at the University of Cambridge and an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation fellowship at LMU Munich. His academic focus lies in philosophy of nature and metaphilosophy, with contributions to environmental philosophy and philosophy of culture.

Research interests include reinterpreting 19th-century German philosophical frameworks to address modern ecological challenges, with a particular emphasis on Fichte and Schelling. Garcia has published a monograph on Fichte’s metaphilosophy (Olms) and co-edited a volume on the concept of nature in classical German philosophy (De Gruyter). Ongoing work focuses on Schelling’s philosophy of nature, bridging historical analysis with contemporary relevance.

His recent articles analyze Kant’s schematism’s influence on Schelling, the role of chemistry in Schelling’s early thought, and the intellectual link between Kant and Fichte through Ernst Platner. Awards include prestigious fellowships from Marie Curie and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. No formal advising or grants are explicitly detailed in the text, though his research is supported by FWO and prior fellowship funding.
