New Release: «Symphilosophie. International Journal of Philosophical Romanticism»: “Romanticism and its Kantian Legacy” (VI, 2024)

Giovanni Mezzavilla // Jan 23, 2025

We are glad to give notice of the release of the new issue of «Symphilosophie. International Journal of Philosophical Romanticism», (VI, 2024), entitled Romanticism and its Kantian Legacy, edited by Marie-Michèle Blondin, Luigi Filieri, Cody Staton and Gesa Wellmann.

From the publisher’s website.

The year of the 300th anniversary of Kant’s birth has just ended. It was rich in events, including the 14th International Kant Congress, devoted to Kant’s Project of the Enlightenment, hosted by the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Bonn and the Kant-Gesellschaft. The present issue 6 of Symphilosophie is focused on the relation between romantic philosophy and Kant’s critical project. The main thematic dossier was coordinated by the editorial team of the journal: Marie-Michèle Blondin, Luigi Filieri, Cody Staton and Gesa Wellmann, whom I warmly thank for all their wonderful work. Their introduction also presents the different contributions included in this 2024 issue. We are also extremely thankful to the over twenty contributors to this issue, as well as to our associate editor, David W. Wood. In addition, we would like to express our gratitude in particular to Márcio Suzuki for offering us a French translation of a fascinating essay by the late Brazilian philosopher and poet Rubens Rodrigues Torres Filho, who passed away in 2023; as well as to Marlene Oeffinger for her remarkable work in translating into English the little-known writings of August Ludwig Hülsen. A second instalment of her translation project is included here, after a first selection was published in the previous issue of Symphilosophie. Finally, we are very pleased to announce that the guest editor of our next issue 7 is María Jimena Solé of the University of Buenos Aires. The topic concerns the relationship between romantic philosophy and Spinoza’s thought.

Mattia Megli // Jan 21, 2025

We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume Hegel’s Philosophy of Nature. A Critical Guide, edited by Marina F. Bykova (Cambridge University Press, 2024).

From the publisher’s website:

Hegel’s Philosophy of Nature constitutes the second part of his mature philosophical system presented in the Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences, and covers an exceptionally broad spectrum of themes and issues, as Hegel considers the content and structure of how humanity approaches nature and how nature is understood by humanity. The essays in this volume bring together various perspectives on Hegel’s Philosophy of Nature, emphasizing its functional role within the Encyclopaedia and its importance for understanding the complexity of Hegel’s philosophical project. Together they illuminate the core ideas which form Hegel’s philosophical framework in the realm of nature.

The Table of Contents is available at this link.

International Conference: “Philosophy as Translation & Translation as Philosophy” (Paris, 24 January 2025)

hegelpd // Jan 20, 2025

We are glad to give notice of the International Conference Philosophy as Translation & Translation as Philosophy, which will take place on January 24th (16.00-18.00, Bâtiment Ida Maier (V)), at the Université Paris Naterre. The conference will be held by Luca Illetterati (University of Padua) and Elena Nardelli (University of Padua).

Below you can find the description of the event.

***

Can philosophy do without translation? How can philosophy question translation and from the perspective of translation? How does translation intervene in the relationship between philosophical research and its history? What does translation tell us about language in general and on the specificity of philosophical language? What effects of subjectivity does translation produce? What images of otherness does translation return to us? And what are the resources of a philosophical practice that coincide with translation?
In this workshop, we will propose a conceptual framework and specific research lines for the philosophy of translation. Furthermore, we will present the newborn Research Center for the Philosophy of Translation (PHILTRA) based at the University of Padova and discuss further forms of partnership with the CRPM.

New Release: Jennifer Mensch (Ed.), “Kant and the Feeling of Life. Beauty and Nature in the Critique of Judgment” (SUNY Press, 2024)

Elisa Gremmo // Jan 17, 2025

We are glad to give notice of Kant and the Feeling of Life. Beauty and Nature in the Critique of Judgment, edited by Jennifer Mensch (SUNY Press, 2024).

From the publisher’s website:

Kant and the Feeling of Life positions Kant’s concept of life as a guiding thread for understanding not only Kant’s approach to aesthetics and teleology but the underlying unity of the Critique of Judgment itself. The “feeling of life,” which Kant describes as affecting us in various ways—as animating, enlivening, and quickening the mind—lies at the heart of Kant’s philosophical project, but it has remained understudied for a theme of such centrality. This volume brings together, for the first time, essays focused on the topic of life in Kant’s work, providing a wealth of perspectives and analyses ranging from the Critique of Judgment to Kant’s early aesthetics, his social and political philosophy, his work connected to the body and health, and his moral theory.

New Release: Martin Mulsow, Gideon Stiening, Friedrich Vollhardt (eds.), “Aufklärung, Band 36: Gott” (Meiner, 2025)

Barbara Santini // Jan 16, 2025

We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume Aufklärung, Band 36: Gott. Begriff und Kritik der Gottesinstanz in der Philosophie, den Wissenschaften und Künsten des 18. Jahrhunderts edited by Martin Mulsow, Gideon Stiening, Friedrich Vollhardt (Meiner, 2025).

From the publisher’s website:

Dieser Band versammelt Studien, die sich um eine angemessene und präzise Erfassung der unterschiedlichen Begründungsweisen für die Geltung und Wirksamkeit des Begriffs oder einer vor- oder transrationalen, mithin glaubenden oder fühlenden Vorstellung Gottes in Philosophie, Theologie, den Wissenschaften und den Künsten im langen 18. Jahrhundert bemühen. Dafür werden die je spezifischen Überlegungen, Argumentationen oder künstlerischen Reflexionen der einzelnen Autoren im Hinblick auf die Möglichkeit, Notwendigkeit und Wirklichkeit einer Gottesinstanz gerade im Angesicht der Verweltlichungsinteressen der Aufklärung gesichtet und geprüft. Die Beiträge arbeiten also zum einen die – sich im Laufe des Jahrhunderts verstärkenden – Begründungsunterschiede für und wider das Gottestheorem heraus. Zum anderen werden die Gründe dafür untersucht, weshalb hinsichtlich der Rekonstruktion der Argumentationsbewegungen zur Gottesinstanz von Locke bis Hegel dennoch von einer einheitlichen Problematik gesprochen werden kann.

New Release: Silvia Pieroni, “Linguaggio, concetto e realtà. L’ontologia relazionale di Hegel” (Orthotes, 2024)

Mattia Megli // Jan 13, 2025

We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume Linguaggio, concetto e realtà. L’ontologia relazionale di Hegel, by Silvia Pieroni (Orthotes, 2024).

From the publisher’s website:

L’odierno interesse per il tema del linguaggio mostrato nell’ambito degli studi hegeliani affonda le proprie radici nel cosiddetto linguistic turn che ha contraddistinto buona parte della filosofia del Novecento. Questo interesse oggi deve essere ricompreso all’interno del dibattito sull’eredità di Hegel, sulla capacità, cioè, del suo pensiero di fornirci strumenti concettuali efficaci per interpretare la realtà. Il presente studio propone una rilettura del sistema hegeliano con il duplice obiettivo di misurare l’impegno ontologico che Hegel si è assunto con la sua filosofia speculativa e di delineare l’influenza che su di essa ha esercitato la linguistica sette-ottocentesca (soprattutto Herder e Wilhelm von Humboldt). Infatti, riflettendo sulla capacità relazionale del segno e, di conseguenza, sulla funzione di mediazione svolta dal linguaggio tra pensiero ed essere (tra soggetto e oggetto) Hegel ha elaborato quella che possiamo definire un’ontologia relazionale. Quest’ultima appare una risorsa concettuale valida anche a livello teorico per pensare sia il carattere marcatamente interattivo e intersoggettivo del rapporto fra soggetto e realtà, sia l’istanza inclusiva che anima la filosofia hegeliana, stando alla quale la costruzione della realtà comporta una costante apertura all’alterità.

From the publisher’s website:

Ausgehend von den zentralen Grundgedanken der Hegelschen Philosophie greift dieser Band die brennendsten intellektuellen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit in den verschiedensten Bereichen auf – von der Logik bis zur Philosophie des Rechts, von der Philosophie der Geschichte bis zur Robotik, von der Ästhetik bis zur Ökologie – und versucht, die heutige Relevanz der Hegelschen Philosophie argumentativ zu belegen. Die Kontexte, in denen die Konzepte, Prinzipien und Paradigmen der Hegelschen Philosophie produktiv werden können, sind vielfältig und entscheidend für ein angemessenes Verständnis unserer disharmonischen Gegenwart.
