semantic reading of G.W.F. Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit that takes Hegel to put forward a philosophy of language similar to his own, which he thereby recommends in retrospect as hegelian.
The conference provides an opportunity, for the first time, to discuss A Spirit of Trust in its entirety and from a wide range of sympathetic as well as critical perspectives. A particular focus is on Brandom’s reading of the Spirit chapter, in which Brandom can be seen to explore the possibility of a connection between the rather abstract and technical issues treated within his philosophy of language and the weighty cultural issues raised in Hegel’s attempt to conceptualize the sweeping transformation, which in his day was becoming increasingly evident, of traditional into modern societies.
The conference is open to anyone interested in and familiar with Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit and Brandom’s A Spirit of Trust. A current draft of the latter can be downloaded from Prof. Brandom’s website.
