Conference: Examining Hegel's Idea of Self-Determination: From Actuality to Concept
OC1.04 (days 1 and 2) and MS.A1.01 on day 3.

Runs from Thursday, June 06 to Saturday, June 08.

Hegel made the claim that the truth of necessity is freedom, arguing that the two domains are not logically incompatible but that one should be understood as a development through the other. This has surprising resonances with contemporary thinkers like Daniel Dennett, who argue that determinism has been wrongly understood as a kind of fatalism and that the subsequent dichotomy between determinism and free will is a false one. Unlike Dennett, however, Hegel makes his arguments from a purely logical standpoint, which, if he is right, takes much less for granted in order to make his case. Other examples include debates on modality with Timothy Williamson, Robert Stalnaker and David Lewis, or the nature of causality by authors from other disciplines, such as George Ellis and Terrance Deacon. These are but some examples where Hegel's Logic can be an important resource to tackle contemporary questions and problems.
