Conference theme and description: Recent Anglo-American interpretations of Hegel and related neo-Hegelian approaches in philosophy have given sociality a central role in understanding mindedness, normativity, freedom and related themes. As a consequence, ‘Spirit’ is no longer seen as referring to something philosophically suspect, but the historically developing space of reasons or norms constituted through recognitive relations of human sociality. Recently however, there is a growing interest in how well this fundamentally social and normative view of spirit can cohere with the naturalistic aspects of Hegel’s philosophy. This conference explores the relation of spirit to nature. This joint conference of the Australian Hegel-Society (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/d3WBCwVLQmi7yP31fVeq4t?domain=australianhegelsociety.com) and the EU funded Marie Curie project ‘Naturalism in German Classical Philosophy’ (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Sp6bCxnMRvtyxBoASvT4Ls?domain=cordis.europa.eu) brings together perspectives on sociality, naturalism, and their intersections. Speakers will include both philosophers in the broad Hegelian tradition, as well as colleagues from other traditions in philosophy working on these themes.


Confirmed speakers include:

Paul Redding (University of Sydney)

Rocío Zambrana (University of Oregon)

Italo Testa (University of Parma)

David MacArthur (University of Sydney)

Richard Menary (Macquarie University)
