***

The aim of this meeting is to promote rigorous and critical analysis of the notions of space and time in Hegelian philosophy, as well as to encourage their projection and interpretation in contemporary debates. Hegel approaches space and time not only as determinations of nature, but also as fundamental elements in logic, as keys to understanding the moments and forms of the spirit, and, of course, they are present in the structure of history itself. Against this backdrop, this congress aims to foster a philosophical dialogue that includes critique and explores these key dimensions, emphasizing their importance within the Hegelian system and their potential to reshape contemporary debates.
