CALL FOR PAPERS

"Hegel and Time"

for the 28th Biennial Meeting of the Hegel Society of America

October 23-25, 2026 (tentative)Evanston, IL

Deadline for submission of papers:

January 14, 2026

While explicit discussions of time appear only periodically in Hegel’s writings, questions about time, temporality, and history are pervasive in Hegel’s thought. For our 2026 Biennial Meeting, the Hegel Society of America invites papers that address questions about time and their relation to any dimension of Hegel’s philosophy. Papers might address Hegel’s explicit discussions of time within or across different works, consider his accounts of history, of the present, or of the future, examine the relationship between Hegel’s position and those of other thinkers, or speak to themes of time or temporality in a variety of other ways. We are open to many different approaches to Hegel’s work in multiple disciplines, including (but not limited to) philosophy, theology, history, legal and political theory, sociology, environmental studies, gender studies, and literary studies.

Submissions are limited to 6,000 words (excluding notes), and any later adjustments must remain within this limit. They must be complete essays; draft proposals will not be accepted. Submissions must be in English, in Word or PDF format, prepared for blind review, and accompanied by an abstract of no more than 300 words.

Note: Although papers presented at meetings of the Hegel Society of America are usually published either in a collection of essays or in The Owl of Minerva—The Journal of the Hegel Society of America, publication cannot be guaranteed. By submitting a paper, however, the author agrees to reserve publication of their essay for an HSA proceedings volume or in The Owl of Minerva if the paper is accepted for the program.

Please send papers to:

Tim Brownlee, Program Chair
