The project of German Idealism\, in its historical as well as in its \;systematical \;character\, marks an overcoming of disciplinary boundaries. Not only does it \;represent a certain challenging of the traditional philosophical inventory of \;knowledge\; in its discussions of the anthropological\, ethical\, political\, \;religious \;and aesthetical it also combines questions of the most different range. \;Today\, it is \;in particular in current discourses on aesthetics\, that the implicit as \;well as the \;explicit reference to German Idealism is remarkable. The governing \;question of the \;conference focuses on this recurrence\, the Actuality of German Idealism \;especially \;in aesthetics : How to diagnose the consequences of the resurgences of German \;Idealism within theories of the aesthetical? Does the recurrence of German \;Idealism \;put the contours of particular disciplines as well as their common \;foundations into \;question again?
The conference does therefore focus on the Actuality of German Idealism in \;the sense \;of its relevance for the present. In this context the conference aims at \;the virtual \;crossing point between the particular disciplines and the different \;traditions of \;theory. It seeks to examine the potential and actuality of German Idealism \;first and \;foremost with respect to contemporary aesthetics\, and to take an analysis of \;singular art phenomena and their multiple relations to political\, epistemic\, \;philosophical questions and questions of the life sciences as a starting \;point. \;Therefore the conference&rsquo\;s main aim is to establish the contours of a shared \;question throughout the disciplines\, by means of confronting the most \;different \;traditions and theories\, and to thus properly grasp the contemporary \;recurrence of \;German Idealism.
Conference language is English.
