CALL FOR PAPERS

Hegel 250 years on: phenomenology, logic, and system

March 3-5, 2021

 

The Organising Committee invites the academic community to participate in the international colloquium Hegel 250 years on: phenomenology, logic, and system, to be held online (via Google Meet) on March 3-5, 2021.

The colloquium intends to offer an occasion for graduate and post-graduate researchers to debate different lines of the Hegel’s philosophy studies. In order to promote a constructive discussion for those who intend to present their papers at the colloquium, each roundtable will have the support of a qualified debater appointed by the Organising Committee. The debater will be responsible for commenting the papers and raising questions for discussion, as well as observing possible convergences and divergences between them to encourage valuable discussions. The roundtable discussion aims to overcome the traditional inner divisions of philosophical knowledge. The colloquium encourages the interaction between the various points of research on Hegel’s thought.

Abstracts should be sent to hegel250@gmail.com by January 13, 2021^[*]. Further information on the colloquium arrangement and on the papers’ format is available in the Public Notice section.

[*] the organizing committee of the event postponed the deadline for sending expanded abstracts to January 13th.

 

 

Theme

 

The colloquium revolves around the relationship between the following elements of Hegel’s philosophy: phenomenology, ground, and system. The papers’ abstracts should be in accordance with the theme presented below.  

The colloquium aims to explore the meaning of the tense and disputed relationship between the different expressions of the Hegelian philosophy, namely between the Phenomenology of Spirit, the Science of Logic, and the whole system, which would encompass the two former works, as well as the relationship between nature and spirit. The reflection of the systematic expression on each other has engendered various interpretations regarding the relationships established between what could be considered the introduction to the system, the ground of the system and the system itself, and even the dispute regarding the status of each one and their mutual relations.

However, the peculiarities of each exposition (the configuration and explanation of its objects), as well as the tendency to specialization in academic research, eventually produces the unwitting circumscription of the study of Hegel’s philosophy in one of the previously mentioned expressions. However, the speculative character of Hegel’s philosophy stresses the great value of aiming at the wholeness of the presentations and, therefore, of fostering a systematic dialogue between those aspects.

As the relationship between the presentations and elements of Hegel’s philosophy remains a matter of dispute and controversy, the colloquium attempts to provide a platform in which this relationship and its various interpretations can be discussed. Therefore, we encourage the submission of papers that foster a dialogue between a subject matter and an aspect(s) to which it is not directly linked. Papers concerning the concepts of one work in relation to another will be accepted, as well as those related to the relationship and status between them vis-à-vis the system. The roundtable discussions will be held with the intention of deepening the discussion of the topic of the colloquium and, therefore, encouraging the perspective of the totality of the suggested composition, while maintaining the necessary distinction between them. We invite scholars to submit abstracts in accordance with this general theme and to the format rules described in the Public Notice.

4.     Listener Participation

The e-mail should contain the full name of the listener, institution (if any) and telephone number. On the days of the colloquium, registered listeners will have access to the call link. As the online platform limits the number of participants, registrations are limited.

4.2.  Due to the online platform, listeners should pay attention to the following rules: i) microphones and cameras should be kept disabled while keynote speakers, paper presenters, and debaters are presenting; ii) only those who speak by chat to ask questions may, after authorized by a chair, enable their microphone and camera to put questions and comments. Failure to comply with such rules unfortunately implies the exclusion of the listener from the call.

4.3.  The certificate of listener participation will be conditional on the attendance on the three days of the colloquium and will be issued by the Department of Philosophy in the subsequent weeks. The participation of the listeners (questions and comments addressed to the keynote speakers and roundtables) in the discussions will have the assistance of a chair, who will clarify, at the opening of the day’s work, the procedures to be followed via platform chat.
