While explicit discussions of time appear only periodically in Hegel’s writings, questions about time, temporality, and history are pervasive in Hegel’s thought. For our 2026 Biennial Meeting, the Hegel Society of America invites papers that address questions about time and their relation to any dimension of Hegel’s philosophy. Papers might address Hegel’s explicit discussions of time within or across different works, consider his accounts of history, of the present, or of the future, examine the relationship between Hegel’s position and those of other thinkers, or speak to themes of time or temporality in a variety of other ways. We are open to many different approaches to Hegel’s work in multiple disciplines, including (but not limited to) philosophy, theology, history, legal and political theory, sociology, environmental studies, gender studies, and literary studies.
