The Many Colours of Hegelianism:
Hegel’s Philosophy and its Reception in an International Context

4-5 June, 2010

New College, Oxford

Keynote speakers
Professor Robert Stern (Sheffield), Professor Ludwig Siep (Münster)

Supported by the Department of Politics and International Relations, the Faculty of Philosophy, New College, and Trinity College, the conference will bring together scholars who work on Hegel’s thought and its reception in different cultural contexts.

While Hegel’s philosophy itself is an ongoing object of study in philosophy departments all over the world, his influence on the history of ideas, apart from the obvious influence on Marxism, has been less in focus. The political, social, and intellectual landscapes of different countries have influenced the ways in which thinkers have taken up Hegel’s philosophy, and influenced the choice of the aspects of his philosophy that were turned into different forms of “Hegelianism”.

In focusing on four cultural-geographic areas—the Anglo-American world, Eastern Europe and Russia, the Romantic countries, and the German-speaking countries and Scandinavia—the reception and further development of Hegel’s philosophy in different parts of the world will be considered in comparative perspective. We hope to bring out a common theme, or themes,
that unite Hegelianism in such different shapes as, for example, British Idealism, Russian mysticism and Kojève’s master-slave dialectics. A further focus will be on what Hegelianism means today, both in the academic field and in a wider cultural context.

Convenors: Robert Harris, New College; Lisa Herzog, New College; Sebastian Stein, St Hugh’s College.
