&ldquo\;Re-evaluating Jakob Friedrich Fries: 200th Anniversary of the Publication of System der Metaphysik&rdquo\;
\n*co-sponsored by the 2nd Numazu Congress of Philosophy.
\nDate:
\nAugust 16&ndash\;17\, 2024 (tentative)
\nThe history of philosophy began with Thales in ancient Greece and reached a pinnacle in 19th-century Germany. However\, the conventional image of 19th-century German philosophy must be reconsidered. To accomplish this\, it is essential to illuminate a forgotten philosophical stream that existed alongside so-called &lsquo\;German idealism&rsquo\;.
\nPhilosopher Jakob Friedrich Fries\, a contemporary and frequent challenger of Hegel\, emerges as one of the most important figures in this context. One of Fries&rsquo\; most significant books is System der Metaphysik &ndash\; a bible for the philosophy of Fries and his followers\, the so-called &lsquo\;Friesian School&rsquo\;\, which dominated the philosophical and scientific world of the 19th century. After the fall of the Friesian school\, the Neo-Friesian school\, founded by Leonard Nelson\, dominated the scientific world in the 20th century.
\nThe year 2024 marks the 200th anniversary of the publication of System der Metaphysik. This conference aims to reconsider Fries&rsquo\; philosophy and the significance of Fries\, as well as Friesian and Neo-Friesian thought\, in the 19th\, 20th and 21st centuries.
\nThis conference will also attempt to reconstruct the picture of 19th-century German philosophy. During the 19th and 20th centuries\, thinkers beyond Kant\, Fichte\, Schelling and Hegel &ndash\; especially Fries &ndash\; significantly influenced the history of philosophy\, presenting alternatives to Hegel&rsquo\;s vision.
\nFrom this perspective\, this conference will address themes including but not limited to:
\n- The historical background of Jakob Friedrich Fries
\n- The Friesian and Neo-Friesian schools
\n- Friesian philosophy and the history of philosophy
\n- Fries and the philosophy of science
\n- Fries and the philosophies of culture
\n- Fries and Japanese philosophy
\n- Fries and contemporary philosophy
