Scritta da Hegel nel gennaio del 1807, qualche mese dopo aver ultimato il corpo dell’opera, la Vorrede (“Prefazione”) alla Fenomenologia dello spirito costituisce in realtà un’introduzione ai principali temi dell’intera filosofia hegeliana. Il volume che qui si presenta, oltre a offrire una guida di lettura al testo, propone una serie di approfondimenti tematici; i saggi che lo compongono ricostruiscono la genesi di concetti e problemi che si trovano nella “Prefazione” e ne contestualizzano il senso in relazione agli intenti dell’opera di Hegel nel complesso e alla sua successiva impostazione sistematica. Essi delineano così un percorso ragionato in cui il carattere propedeutico va di pari passo con la trattazione di nozioni centrali come quelle di riflessione e di teleologia, nonché di costellazioni di pensiero quali il rapporto tra la filosofia e il proprio tempo, il pensiero e il linguaggio, il vero e il falso. In costante dialogo ermeneutico con la Vorrede, questo libro non nasconde così l’ambizione di confrontare il nostro presente con i principi dell’intera concezione hegeliana del sapere.

CONFERENCE CFP:

Objektiver Geist occupies an intermediary position in the general context of Hegel’s system. It was, however, a late “discovery” encountered in a double exteriority, both outside the subjective and separate from absolute spirit. Hegel’s passion for the objective led to numerous returns to the system’s middle term to rework and update its content. When this effort was interrupted by the philosopher’s death, the first Hegelians took up the challenge to furnish the system’s middle grounds with the philosophy of history and other posthumous fragments of teaching or early writings. If the Hegelian concept of objective spirit was developed on the grounds of history, rather than political economy, is the concept itself subject-specific? What does it cover, designate, constrain, impose, or conceptualize? Is objective spirit still to be thought there, where it imposed itself on Hegel, on the first Hegelians, and on later ones (Left, Right and Center)?

KEY TEXTS

This conference seeks to address questions arising from the concept of world history in relation to the form, function, and content of objective spirit as presented in the Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences and Elements of the Philosophy of Right.

TOPICS

We welcome paper proposals and panel suggestions in the following broad questions:

1-    Normativity and realism: practical philosophy, positive content, collective action, authority, right.

2-    Actualisations: social and political institutions – historicity of institutions, institutions as objective reason and their manifestations in the becoming of history.

3-    Objective spirit and its interpretations: how it has been tempered or distorted by critical interventions – positivism, sociologism, philosophies of language, social and political sciences, political economy, historicism, hermeneutics. Uses and misuses of dialectical totality and collective consciousness.

4-    Objective spirit as world-history: rationality of the real (speculative v. descriptive), effectual reality and becoming reality; effective reality and the future of history; relations to modernity.

5-    Religion, politics, and history: religion, modernity, secularization; state and religion; the art; the age of globalization; world history and the history of religions.

PUBLICATION:

After the conference, the authors of the accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their presentations to a special monograph or journal issue (details to be announced in the upcoming months).
