We are pleased to announce the 2nd Berlin-Padua DAAD workshop on Classical German Philosophy. The workshop will take place at the Università di Padova (Sala delle Edicole, piazza Capitaniato 3) on October 2nd-3rd, 2023, and is organized by Karen Koch, Elena Tripaldi, Dina Emundts, and Luca Illetterati.

The workshop is the second meeting of the DAAD Hochschuldialog mit Südeuropa project “Encountering Objectivity. Reality and Cognition between German Classical Philosophy and Contemporary Debates“, whose aim is to investigate the notion and understanding of objectivity in view of the inevitably situated standpoint of human cognition, bridging the gap between contemporary debates in feminist theory and the posthuman, and Classical German Philosophy.

The workshop will feature a Keynote Lecture by Jennifer Bates (Duquesne University) and talks by Giacomo Croci (Medizinische Hochschule Brandenburg), Philipp Höfele (Universität Halle-Wittenberg), Leonard Weiss (University of Sheffield), Elena Romano (Freie Universität Berlin), Larissa Wallner (LMU München), Achim Wamssler (Freie Universität Berlin), Lilja Walliser (Freie Universität Berlin), Simon Schüz (RTPU), Tobias Wieland (Freie Universität Berlin) und Karen Koch (Freie Universität Berlin/Universität Basel).

The project is a collaboration between the chair of the history of philosophy at Freie Universität Berlin and the research group on Classical German Philosophy “hegelpd” at the University of Padua.
