The faculty colloquia aim to cover the broad scope of Erasmus School of Philosophy (ESPhil), in analytic and continental philosophy as well as the history of philosophy. Speakers are free in their choice of the subject-matter of their talks, but are requested to present a talk accessible to all philosophers, students notably included.
Abstract
This talk examines Hegel’s lectures on the history of modern philosophy in view of the tenstion between, on the one hand, his ambition to grasp philosophy’s past in a truly philosophical way and, on the other hand, the necessity to account for the actual particularities of a wide range of philosophical systems. The paper contextualizes Hegel’s position by comparing both his methodological principles and his account of Kant to the views on these subjects put forward by Hegel’s predecessor Tennemann.
