Unconditional Thinking
Call for Papers
Keynote speakers:
George Di Giovanni (McGill University)
Isabelle Thomas-Fogiel (University of Ottawa)
The University of Ottawa Graduate Philosophy Student Association (GPSA) invites submissions from undergraduate and graduate students for the conference on the topic of the contemporary importance of German Idealism. Though most of the great texts of the German Idealist movement were written over 200 years ago, these works have more than a purely historical interest. What is it about these writings that continues to fascinate, puzzle, and inspire us after all this time?
Possible subjects include (but are not limited to):
- nature-philosophy in German Idealism and afterwards
- German Idealism and nature
- contemporary critiques of German Idealism
- the influence of German Idealism on recent French philosophy (Deleuze, Badiou, Laruelle, Malabou)
- the rediscovery of German Idealism in analytical philosophy (Sellars, Brandom, McDowell, Priest)
- alternative approaches to the problems of German Idealism
Event language: English and French
