The first Later German Philosophy conference\, entitled After Kant: Beyond \;Transcendental Idealism \;(http://www.kent.ac.uk/secl/philosophy/conferences/after-kant.html) and held \;in September 2012\, discussed reactions to Kant&rsquo\;s transcendental idealism\, as \;they emerged in the period 1860-1951. The second Later German Philosophy \;conference will look at the fascinating variety of conceptions of language \;and related issues in metaphysics and the philosophy of mind\, as discussed \;by figures such as Wilhelm Dilthey\, Gottlob Frege\, Edmund Husserl\, Martin \;Heidegger\, Theodor W. Adorno\, Ernst Cassirer\, Ludwig Wittgenstein\, Karl \;Jaspers and Walter Benjamin.
This conference series aims to revive the dialogue between analytic and \;continental philosophy. To overcome this divide it is necessary to go back \;to the time when this divide took emerged\, namely the period 1860-1951. This remains a widely neglected\, but extremely fruitful period\, especially \;with respect to German philosophy\, marked by the deaths of two philosophers \;whose very different methods of inquiry and argumentation represent the end \;and the beginning of significant philosophical traditions: Schopenhauer \;(1860) and Wittgenstein (1951). The philosophers whose ideas and arguments \;the conference speakers will consider are all later German philosophers in \;this sense. The conference series aims to revisit German philosophers from \;this period\, recover the wealth of original and challenging ideas and \;arguments they contributed to mind and language studies\, and discuss their \;relevance to burning issues in contemporary philosophy.
