Biography

Marcela García-Romero is Professor of Philosophy at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. Having obtained her PhD from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, from 2008 to 2012 she taught there and managed the journal Philosophisches Jahrbuch.

One main focus is German idealism, particularly the philosophy of Schelling and discussions regarding reality, life, human activity, freedom, and the limits of reason. Her other area of specialization is Ontology and Metaphysics, specifically discussions on what it is to be and to exist, and the degree to which our concepts can grasp actual being.

Marcela García-Romero is the Chair of the North American Schelling Society in the United States. She is currently working on a book project on the late Schelling's reception of Aristotelian metaphysics and co-directing a Schelling translation project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
