Conference: “Contemporary Relevance of Hegelian Naturalism: Philosophical and Interdisciplinary Outcomes” (Parma, 19-21 June 2019)

We are happy to announce the programme of the conference Contemporary Relevance of Hegelian Naturalism: philosophical and interdisciplinary Outcomes, which will be held at the University of Parma on June 19th-21st 2019.

The conference will take place at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences (DUSIC), via M. D’Azeglio 85, Parma.

***

What is Hegelian naturalism about, and why is it philosophically relevant? Can Hegel’s philosophy improve our understanding on topics related to different disciplines? Is a dialogue between Hegelian thinking and the previous mentioned disciplines methodologically possible?
In order to answer those questions, the conference will gather Hegelian scholars and researchers from different disciplines.
