Details

We are pleased to announce the II International Congress Hegel in Dialogue,
which will take place in Belo Horizonte and Ouro Preto (Brazil), between
13th and 16th May 2015. The topic of the Conference will be “Hegel and
McDowell”.

The aim of this event is to investigate a particularly fascinating chapter
of the growing debate between traditions of thought once considered
hostile, namely Analytic Philosophy and Classical German Philosophy.
Specifically, the event aims to analyze the relationship between the
thought of G.W.F. Hegel and the British philosopher John McDowell in a
comprehensive and detailed manner. McDowell has in recent years developed a
unique line of interpretation of some Hegelian themes, relating them to his
own thinking and thus showing how the philosophy of Hegel is still able to
provide us with useful conceptual tools to deal with contemporary
philosophical problems.

The presence of John McDowell himself in the event is an excellent
opportunity to discuss and explore both his philosophical proposal,
particularly with regard to the legacy of Hegel present in his thought, as
well as his interpretation of Hegel's philosophy. The various presentations
that will occur during the event will highlight aspects of continuity and
discontinuity between the thought of the two authors, helping to define
more clearly their positions on specific theoretical issues and to discuss
and assess their consequences.

The list of confirmed speakers is the following:

Keynote Speakers: J. McDowell (Pittsburgh), P. Redding (Sidney), R. Pippin
(Chicago), L. Illetterati (Padova), S. Rödl (Leipzig), V. Safatle (São
Paulo), W. DeVries (New Hampshire), S. Houlgate (Warwick).

Secondary Speakers: C. Sachs (Virginia), E. Lima (Brasília), S. Levine
(Massachussets), E. Perini (Belo Horizonte), F. Sanguinetti (Rio de
Janeiro), H. Bensusan, (Brasília), L. Corti (Padova), M. Bordignon (Porto
Alegre/Padova).
