Speaker: Prof. Dr. Walter Jaeschke (Director of the Hegel Archives, Bochum)
This conference is interested in papers which address the theme of self-mediation as a
dialectic. While we conceive of this theme primarily within an Hegelian framework, we do
not wish to limit contributions alone to those of a Hegelian or post-Hegelian Idealistic
nature. Specifically, psycho-analytic proposals are also welcome, as are those from any
other fields which can address issues relevant to a dialectical understanding of
self-mediation. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: the relation of the one
and the many; the potential hegemony of self-reflection; the possibility of an open
dialectical intermediation (i.e. metaxology); the other as internal, external or both; the
limitations of the dialectic as a tool for understanding the individual.
About the Keynote Speaker: Prof. Dr. Walter Jaeschke is currently Professor of the History
of Philosophy and the Director of the Hegel Archives at the Ruhr-University, Bochum. He
has published widely on Hegel and German Idealism, and has edited many texts for the
Collected Works of Hegel [Gesammelte Werke], among which number the "Lectures on the
Philosophy of Religion," the "Lectures on the History of Philosophy" and
the "Science of Logic." He has also produced annotated editions of Hegel,
Feuerbach, Jacobi, and Schleiermacher. |
