CFP: The Philosophy of Right and Wrong: Hegel on Crime, Transgression, and Injustice

The overarching ambition of the conference is to put exegetical research into touch with current debates in legal theory, especially criminal law scholarship, and adjacent fields, such as moral philosophy, meta-ethics, and political theory. For a list of themes to be explored, and further background on the conference, please refer to the detailed Call for Abstracts (https://csl.mpg.de/en/hegel/cfa).

Speakers are welcome to tackle other questions than the ones listed in the detailed CfA, as long as they connect to the overarching theme. While the focus of the conference is on Hegel’s mature political philosophy, scholars are encouraged to draw on earlier writings if doing so is conducive to accentuating, contrasting, or criticising the argument of the Philosophy of Right.

Presentations will be held in English and should be no longer than 30 minutes. Travel and accommodation costs for speakers will be covered. We plan to publish the conference proceedings after the event, with further details to be announced in due course.

Please send the provisional title of your presentation and an abstract of no more than 300 words to straf­rechts­[email protected] by 28 February 2025.

If you have any questions regarding the conference, please contact Simon Gansinger, again at strafrechts­theo­[email protected].
