Abstract of the lecture:

In “Hegel’s Monism: On the Singularity and Freedom of the Concept” I discuss six epistemological and metaphysical problems, some of which have plagued the history of Western thought for millennia: the problem of nihilism, the problem of instantiation, the problem of the missing difference, the problem of absolute empiricism, the problem of onto-theology, and the third man regress. I show that these problems are generated by a series of problematic assumptions, one of which is the assumption that universality and particularity are distinct principles. Having diagnosed the problem, I turn to Hegel’s Science of Logic to illuminate how Hegel solves these problems. By denying the separation of the principles of universality and particularity, Hegel creatively rethinks the concept as the self-particularizing universal. Finally, I demonstrate how Hegel’s commitment to the self-particularizing universal engenders a radical metaphysical and epistemological monism, in which the concept is the singular being of truth and freedom.
