Conference: Wahrheit und Falschheit in der klassischen deutschen Philosophie Truth and Falsehood in Classical German Philosophy (Basel, 5-6 September 2025)

We are glad to give notice of the International Conference Wahrheit und Falschheit in der klassischen deutschen Philosophie Truth and Falsehood in Classical German Philosophy, which will take place on September 5th-6th, at the University of Basel (Kollegienhaus, Petersplatz 1, CH-4051).

The event is organized by Karen Koch (Basel), Conrad Mattli (Basel), Jörg Noller (München).

Please register at conrad.mattli@unibas.ch by August 24th.

 

 

In the wake of Kant’s critical turn, truth and falsity are no longer static and unmediated opposites. Rather, falsity often proves to be a constitutive moment of truth itself. This insight is reflected in central concepts such as dialectics, critique and enlightenment, in the distinctions between appearance and thing-in-itself, the transcendental and the transcendent, belief, opinion and knowledge – as well as in the concepts of analogy, symbol and metaphor. The conference will focus in particular on the question of the difference between truth and appearance, the truth content of aesthetics and the epistemological as well as ontological status of the a priori.

 

The conference will be held in English and German.

CFP: “”The Conflict of Interpretations”: Hegel and Absolute Knowledge” («Dialettica e Filosofia» 2/25)

We are glad to give notice of the Call for papers “The Conflict of Interpretations”: Hegel and Absolute Knowledge, for the issue of «Dialettica e Filosofia» (2/25).

Deadline for submission: July 15, 2025.

Please find below the text of the call.

***

The relationship between the speculative dimension of Hegelian philosophy and contemporary thought appears to be marked by a peculiar ambivalence. On the one hand, Hegel’s system, with the notion of absolute knowledge, aims to demonstrate how the unconditionality of the object must correspond to the unconditionality of thought, thus coherently fulfilling and bringing to completion the demands of metaphysics. On the other hand, however, the elevation of thought to the absolute necessarily entails the transfiguration of the latter into knowledge, method, and process. If Hegelian dialectics, in short, seeks to provide a definitive response to the questions inherited from ancient and modern philosophical traditions, this can only occur through a radical re-signification of these problems—one that relocates them outside the ontological-substantialist and subjectivist-consciousness frameworks within which they originally arose. In this way, Hegel seems to bring to completion the process of fulfillment and dissolution of metaphysics initiated by Kant’s critical philosophy and characterizing the entire development of classical German philosophy. With this philosophical epoch, and with Hegel in particular, a distancing from metaphysics seems to begin—one that will overwhelmingly characterize contemporary thought, which sees in critical and self-critical reflection the fundamental task of philosophy and the most precious legacy of the Western tradition. It is precisely at this point, however, that problems arise. If Hegelian philosophy constitutes itself as a critique of tradition, its critical-negative movement reveals itself to be “in solidarity with metaphysics at the moment of its fall,” showing, precisely in the act of overcoming it, the profound and inescapable truth of what has been left behind. The peculiarity of this way of understanding critique has prevented contemporary thought from fully embracing the legacy of Hegelian dialectics. Even those who, like Jürgen Habermas, have not positioned themselves in outright opposition to it but have instead sought to acknowledge its merits and significance have found themselves compelled to affirm the necessity of a second secularization of philosophy. After the first secularization—carried out by Hegel and classical German philosophy in dissolving the old metaphysics of substance and subject—it seemed necessary to undertake a second secularization of philosophy in order to leave behind the Hegelian claim of making this critical and negative knowledge the ultimate truth of everything. In light of Habermas’s recent reconsiderations regarding the nature and autonomy of post- metaphysical thought, it seems legitimate today to revisit the critical legacy of Hegelian philosophy and its relationship with contemporary thought. Is it possible to go deeper than the great philosophers of the twentieth century did, to uncover within Hegelian thought a critical potential that can be revived by translating and inscribing it within post- metaphysical coordinates—thus abandoning the idealistic shell that risked condemning it? Or, on the contrary, do Hegel’s critical resources lie precisely in his irreducibility to the coordinates of contemporary thought, in his ability to highlight its limitations, its deficits of self-reflexivity, and to denounce the abstract nature of its universalism? The task, therefore, is either to demonstrate—also in light of the latest results of Hegelian studies—the already post-metaphysical and contemporary adequacy of Hegelian speculative thought, or, as Adorno reproached Croce in What Is Living and What Is Dead in the Philosophy of Hegel, to subject contemporary thought itself to the demanding test of the Hegelian conception of rationality.

New Release: “Absolute Ethical Life. Aristotle, Hegel and Marx” (Stanford University Press, 2025)

We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume Absolute Ethical Life. Aristotle, Hegel and Marx by Michael Lazarus (Stanford University Press, 2025).

From the publisher’s website:

Karl Marx gave us not just a critique of the political economy of capital but a way of confronting the impoverished ethical quality of life we face under capitalism. Interpreting Marx anew as an ethical thinker, Absolute Ethical Life provides crucial resources for understanding how freedom and rational agency are impacted by a social world formed by value under capitalism, with consequences for philosophy today.

Michael Lazarus situates Marx within a shared tradition of ethical inquiry, placing him in close dialogue with Aristotle and Hegel. Lazarus traces the ethical and political dimensions of Marx’s work missed by Hannah Arendt and Alasdair MacIntyre, two of the most profound critics of modern politics and ethics. Ultimately, the book claims that Marx’s value-form theory is both a continuation of Aristotelian and Hegelian themes and at the same time his most distinctive theoretical achievement.

In this normative interpretation of Marx, Lazarus integrates recent moral philosophy with a historically specific analysis of capitalism as a social form of life. He challenges contemporary political and economic theory to insist that any conception of modern life needs to account for capitalism. With a robust critique of capitalism derived from the determinations of what Marx calls the “form of value,” Lazarus argues for an ethical life beyond capital.

Reminder: CFP: “The Purpose of Knowledge and the Freedom of Research. Kant’s The Conflict of the Faculties: Analysis and Perspectives” («Archivio di Filosofia» 1/2026)

We are glad to remind you of the Call for papers for the issue of «Archivio di Filosofia» 1/2026, The Purpose of Knowledge and the Freedom of Research. Kant’s The Conflict of the Faculties: Analysis and Perspectives.

Editors: Giulia Bernard, Barbara Santini, Marzia Soavi.

Deadline for submission: July 31st, 2025.

Please find below the text of the call.

***

The issue will focus on the theme of “Purpose of knowledge and freedom of research”, engaging with Immanuel Kant’s The Conflict of the Faculties (1798) through a critical reappropriation of its legacy. The relevance of this text, which has decisively shaped our understanding of disciplines, science and universities, deserves to be discussed nowadays for the significant role it can play in contemporary critical reflection on the status of philosophy. By making the legacy and relevance of The Conflict of the Faculties a focal point of discussion, this issue aims, on the one hand, to bring out the multidisciplinary vocation that underpins Kant’s reflection on the determination and purpose of knowledge. On the other hand, it seeks to explore the text as a productive criterion of orientation for contemporary thinking on the freedom of research.

To reconstruct Kant’s reflection and critically examine its relevance, it is crucial to place it within the broader context of reflection on the role of critical thinking about ethics, science, medicine, theology, and law, within which The Conflict of the Faculties problematically situates the meta-philosophical question of the status of philosophy. Engaging with The Conflict of the Faculties, from an in-depth examination of intratextual issues to an investigation of the relationship between philosophy and the other sciences, offers a pivotal space for discussing how the meta-philosophical questions raised by Kant have been historically translated and reinterpreted in our contemporary world.

The volume aims to investigate, among others, the following topics, based on their exploration in The Conflict of the Faculties:
– the confrontation between transcendental philosophy and the political dimension of knowledge;
– the relation between science and wisdom;
– the institutionalization of knowledge;
– the issue of Bildung in the academic context and in the public sphere;
– the relationship between disciplines – that is, between the higher faculties (Theology, Law, Medicine) and the lower ones (Philosophy);
– the relationship between public and private use of reason;
– the notions of “conflict” and “critique” as conceptual resources for rethinking the relationship between reason and political power;
– the question of autonomy within the university and of the university itself.

Deadline: July 31st 2025

Length: 40.000 characters (including spaces and notes)

Languages: English, Italian, German, Spanish, or French

Submission: All manuscripts will undergo a double-blind peer review. Each contribution must be accompanied by a short abstract in English, an English version of the title and up to five keywords.

Submissions should be sent to: giulia.bernard@unipd.it; barbara.santini@unipd.it; marzia.soavi@unipd.it

In seiner Heidelberger Rezension von 1817 schreibt Hegel dem Denken Jacobis epochale Bedeutung zu. Gemeinsam mit Kant hat Jacobi „die Notwendigkeit einer völlig veränderten Ansicht des Logischen begründet“ und damit „in der Geschichte der Philosophie überhaupt eine bleibende Epoche gemacht.“ Anlässlich von Jacobis Tod 1819 spricht Hegel dann sogar von einem „Wendepunkt der geistigen Bildung der Zeit sowie der Individuen“, den Jacobi heraufgeführt hat. Nichts weniger als seine eigene intellektuelle und existentielle Biographie schließt Hegel in dieser Notiz an Niethammer mit ein: „Man fühlt sich immer verlassen, je mehr dieser alten Stämme, zu denen man von Jugend an hinaufgeschaut hat, eingehen.“ Für „die Welt, in der wir uns unsere Existenz vorstellen“, war Jacobi „einer der festen Halte.“

Gemessen an solchen Äußerungen erstaunt es, dass eine umfassende Auseinandersetzung mit dem Verhältnis zwischen Jacobi und Hegel immer noch am Anfang steht. Vielleicht ist der Grund dafür oberflächlicher Natur: Anders als mit Fichte und Schelling hat Jacobi, von seiner ironischen Replik auf Hegels „Glauben und Wissen“ abgesehen, mit Hegel keine großangelegte Debatte geführt. Hegels Hauptwerke ab der „Phänomenologie des Geistes“ hat er nicht mehr wahrgenommen. Umgekehrt stammen von Hegel zwei der auffälligsten und bissigsten Texte zu Jacobi überhaupt, die genannte Schrift „Glauben und Wissen“ (1802) und der Vorbegriff zum „Unmittelbaren Wissen“ in der „Enzyklopädie“ (1830), die Hegels Werk gleichsam einrahmen. Fehlende Äußerungen bei Jacobi einerseits, Hegels äußerst kritische Distanzierung andererseits – von weitem hat es den Anschein, als gebe es über Jacobi und Hegel nichts zu sagen, außer dass wir von Hegel die Gründe dafür erfahren, warum die Formation der postkantischen Philosophie die Position Jacobis hinter sich gelassen hat.

Wie verkehrt diese Einschätzung ist, geht nicht nur aus den programmatischen Äußerungen Hegels zur epochalen Bedeutung Jacobis hervor. Hegels durchgehende Beachtung Jacobis zieht sich darüber hinaus durch sein ganzes Werk: von den Jenaer Schriften angefangen, über die „Phänomenologie des Geistes“, die „Wissenschaft der Logik“, die Rechtsphilosophie und die „Enzyklopädie“ bis hin zur Religionsphilosophie gibt es keinen Text, in dem sich Hegel nicht explizit und implizit und nicht selten unter Verwendung wörtlicher Formulierungen mit Jacobi auseinandergesetzt hätte. Folgt man diesen Spuren, kann man ohne Übertreibung sagen, dass das Verhältnis zwischen Jacobi und Hegel eines der spannendsten Verhältnisse in der klassischen deutschen Philosophie ist. Hegel gewinnt seine Position nicht, indem er – wie Fichte oder Schelling – mit Jacobi übereinzustimmen sucht, sondern indem er sich an den Gelenkstellen seines Denkens von Jacobi abstößt und eben darin dauerhaft mit Jacobi verbunden bleibt. Die Figur der vermittelten Unmittelbarkeit ist dafür symptomatisch.

Aus dieser Konstellation ergibt sich das Interesse und die besondere Herausforderung, das Verhältnis zwischen Jacobi und Hegel zu diskutieren. Es muss dies nach allem eine systematische Debatte sein. Wo knüpft Hegel an Jacobi an und mit welchen Argumenten will er zeigen, dass seine eigene Philosophie eine triftige Alternative zur Position Jacobis darstellt? In welchen Philosophiefeldern spielt dieser Rekurs eine herausgehobene Rolle und warum? Und warum kommt diese Debatte über Hegels ganzes Werk hinweg bis zum Schluss nicht zu Ende und lässt sich dementsprechend nicht auf einen initiativen Einfluss verkürzen? Aber auch vice versa: Wie stellt sich die Formation der Hegelschen Position dar, wenn man sie aus Sicht der Position Jacobis betrachtet? Was spricht aus dieser Sicht für Hegel oder was kann man aus dieser Sicht aus systematischen Gründen gegen Hegel einwenden? Welche Konsequenzen hat es für unser Verständnis von Philosophie und philosophischem Denken, solche differenten Sichtweisen zu eröffnen? Und um welche Motive geht es dabei, wenn eines der gemeinsam vertretenen Anliegen übereinstimmend „Freiheit“ heißt?

Die geplante internationale Tagung „Jacobi und Hegel“ ist die erste Tagung zum Thema überhaupt. Ziel ist es, die skizzierte systematische Auseinandersetzung zum Verhältnis zwischen Jacobi und Hegel anzustoßen und zu führen. Bewusst geht der Programmablauf nicht historisch oder werkgeschichtlich vor. Vielmehr sind die geplanten Panels in logischer, epistemologischer und praktischer Perspektive an Begriffen oder Konzepten orientiert, die ins Zentrum der jeweiligen Position zielen und geeignet sind, die Debatte so genau und so aktuell relevant wie möglich zu konturieren.

Die Anbindung der Tagung an das an der Sächsischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig angesiedelte Akademienprojekt „Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi: Briefwechsel. Text – Kommentar – Wörterbuch Online“ dient nicht nur der wechselseitigen Beförderung von Tagungsbeiträgen und Wörterbuchartikeln, sondern hält auch im Blick auf Jacobis Briefwechsel eine treffende Pointe bereit. Im Jahr 2025 wird mit JBW 15 der letzte Band des Briefwechsels aus den Jahren 1811-1819 erscheinen, in dem sich Jacobis berühmter Brief an Johannes Neeb vom 30.05.1817 mit seiner Replik auf Hegels Heidelberger Rezension findet: „Der Unterschied zwischen Hegel und mir“ besteht darin, dass Hegel vom Spinozismus zu „einem System der Freiheit“ hinauskommt „auf einem nur noch höheren, aber gleichwohl demselben (also im Grunde auch nicht höheren) Wege des Gedankens – ohne Sprung; ich aber nur mittels eines Sprunges“. Und: „Er mag wohl recht haben, und gern wollte ich mit ihm noch einmal alles durchversuchen, was die Denkkraft allein vermag.“ Etwas in dieser Art möchte die Tagung sein: Ein systematisches Durchversuchen der möglichen Optionen im Verhältnis zwischen Jacobi und Hegel.

New Release: G. Anthony Bruno, “Facticity and the Fate of Reason After Kant” (Oxford University Press, 2025)

We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume Facticity and the Fate of Reason After Kant, by G. Anthony Bruno (Oxford University Press, 2025).

From the publisher’s website:

Facticity and the Fate of Reason After Kant is the first history of the concept of facticity. G. Anthony Bruno argues that this concept’s coining, transmission, and repurposing by post-Kantian thinkers leaves a lasting divide concerning the question of whether a science of intelligibility can tolerate brute facts. In the phenomenological tradition, ‘facticity’ denotes undeducibly brute conditions of intelligibility such as sociality, mortality, and temporality. This suggests an affirmative answer to the post-Kantian question. However, the term’s original use in the German idealist tradition is associated with a negative answer: a science of intelligibility must eliminate bruteness in order to be systematic, as Fichte says, or presuppositionless, as Hegel says. Moreover, eliminating bruteness requires a new logic for deducing conditions of intelligibility from reason’s self-contradictions, a dialectical logic that Fichte invents and Hegel develops. In response to the German idealists, Heidegger argues that dialectic ineluctably presupposes brute facts of lived experience, whose interpretation requires a hermeneutics of facticity. The untold history of the concept of facticity thus contains the deepest parting of the ways after Kant, one in which reason is fated to transform from the hand that holds the world to the thrown activity of being-in-the-world. Facticity and the Fate of Reason After Kant explores this transformation while confronting our inheritance of the still-pressing post-Kantian question.
