We are glad to give notice of the Workshop Hegel and Pragmatism, which will take place on 9 March, 2026, at the at the University of Ljubljana (Cankarjev Dom).
The event is jointly organized by the University of Ljubljana, Department of History of Western Philosophy of the University of Kyoto, Goethe Institut Ljubljana and Cankarjev Dom.
Below you can find the presentation and the program of the event.
***
The contributions will explore how Hegel’s conceptual development, his theory of recognition, and his understanding of the rationality of history can be placed in dialogue with pragmatist emphases on action, critical judgment, and the fallibility of knowledge. Rather than treating Hegel and pragmatism as opposing currents, the workshop will highlight contemporary attempts to read Hegel as a source of practice-oriented philosophy, while also critically assessing the limits of such rapprochement.
