Robert Brandom explains what we can still learn from Hegel today. \; In his systematic interpretation of Hegel&rsquo\;s Phenomenology of Spirit\, Brandom brings Hegel&rsquo\;s ideas fruitfully to bear on current action theory\, metaphysics\, social ontology and philosophy of language. \; Brandom shows\, among many other things\, how Hegel clearly recognized the fundamental problem of rule-following long before Wittgenstein and\, indeed\, already suggested a solution that rests on the social nature of norms. \; Over the course of the next two years Brandom will present and discuss his entire manuscript in the five parts of this lecture series.
\nThe lecture series is made possible by Brandom&rsquo\;s Anneliese Maier Research Award from the Humboldt Foundation. \; It will take place under the aegis of the Forschungskolleg Analytic German Idealism at the University of Leipzig.
\nThe lecture series begins in December 2015 with the first part\, which comprises three lectures:
