Publications:
We have produced various publications that document our work.
One of them is "Wittgenstein and Hegel: Reevaluation of Difference" by Mácha, Jakub, and Berg, Alexander, published by De Gruyter in 2019 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110572780).
At the workshop, we plan to introduce and discuss another publication with De Gruyter, edited by Alexander Berg and Denis Kaidalov and titled "Wittgenstein and Classical German Philosophy – Logic, Language, Life", coming in 2024.
Furthermore, we intend to capture the further development of the discussions from these events in a subsequent publication with De Gruyter.
We look forward to your contributions and to an enriching discussion during the workshop.
