We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume G.W.F. Hegel, La recensione a Jacobi (1817), edited by Guido Frilli (Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Filosofici Press, 2024).
From the publisher’s website:
Il pensiero di Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi (1743-1819) non ha mai cessato di costituire, per Hegel, uno stimolo e una sfida costante, dai primi scritti jenesi fino all’Enciclopedia di Berlino. La recensione del 1817 al terzo volume delle opere di Jacobi è il testo dal quale meglio emergono la grande importanza e i molti livelli del confronto critico di Hegel con il pensatore di Düsseldorf. Il volume presenta in una nuova traduzione italiana uno scritto spesso ingiustamente trascurato dagli studi critici, insieme a un ampio saggio introduttivo, a un ricco commento analitico al testo, e a un’esaustiva panoramica della letteratura secondaria sul tema.
We are glad to give notice of the release of the new issue of «Cogency. Journal of Reasoning and Argumentation», 16 (1), 2024, on System and Complexity in Classical German Philosophy.

We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume Ausgewählte Schriften zur Philosophie Kants. Band 1: Zur Konstitution des Systems and Band 2: Zur Konstitution des Systems by Dieter Henrich, edited by Flavio Auer, Angelika Kreß und Michael Schwingenschlögl (Klostermann, 2024).
From the publisher’s website:
Dieter Henrichs Schriften zur Philosophie Immanuel Kants haben auf internationaler Ebene neue Standards der Kant-Interpretation gesetzt. Paradigmatisch für Henrichs Verfahren der argumentanalytischen Rekonstruktion ist, dass Leitfragen und Begründungsgänge Kants dargestellt, unklare und widersprüchliche Aussagen identifiziert sowie in eine präzise nachvollziehbare Argumentationsfolge übersetzt werden. Zugleich arbeitet Henrich die Anknüpfungspunkte für Korrekturen, Modifikationen und Verschiebungen philosophischer Grundfragen in der Kant-Rezeption des deutschen Idealismus heraus. Seine Interpretationen der Kantischen Philosophie wurden im angelsächsischen Sprachraum früh und intensiv aufgenommen. Dadurch stieß er bis heute lebhaft geführte Diskussionen an, in denen sich Bemühungen um die angemessene Auslegung Kants mit systematischen Fragen nach der Struktur des epistemischen wie des personalen Selbstbewusstseins verbinden.
Die beiden Bände hat Henrich noch selbst konzipiert. Die Beiträge des ersten Bandes sind der Verständigung über die erkenntnistheoretischen und ethischen Grundlagen von Kants System der Philosophie gewidmet; der Band enthält u.a. einen bislang nur in russischer Sprache veröffentlichten Text zur ›Komposition der Kritik der reinen Vernunft‹ und ein Nachwort des Autors, das er noch wenige Wochen vor seinem Tod im Dezember 2022 verfasste.

We are very glad to give notice of the opening of a Call for Papers for the Special Issue of the Journal of Comparative Literature and Aesthetics on (De)Bordering Aesthetics: 19th-Century German Philosophy and the Migratory Turn.
Guest Editor: Gabriele Schimmenti (Roma Tre University, Italy)
Deadline for submission: 31 March 2025
Below you can find the text of the call.

Philosophical studies on borders and migration have expanded in recent decades due to (among other things) the international historical challenge represented by the migration processes generated and multiplicated by phenomena such as globalization and climate crisis. In recent years, several scholars in political philosophy and critical political science have advanced the need to rethink categories such as space, territories or borders, as well as the necessity to reconsider political subjectivities from the vantage point of mobility. A migratory turn has also occurred in aesthetics, philosophy of art and art history (Dogramaci 2019). New emergent approaches such as Border Aesthetics (Schimanski and Wolfe 2017; Schimanski 2019) and Migrant Aesthetics (Carpio 2023) emphasize both the crucial role of migration for aesthetic production, and the relevance of aesthetics with regard to the narrative construction/description of borders, borderscapes, migration and the subjectivities involved.
The aim of this special issue is to investigate the relationships between aesthetics, borders and migration in German Philosophy, in particular in 19th-century aesthetics. In fact, 19th-century German aesthetics and, more generally, philosophy represent not only a moment in which an explicit reflection between potentially different concepts of borders is developed — and this can be read as a great attempt of both bordering and debordering — but also a laboratory for rethinking borders from a territorial, (inter)national, economic and cultural perspective, and to consider the phenomenon of global migration in relation to humans and non-humans, including artistic objects.
Manuscripts in MS Word (5,000–10,000 words) adhering to the MLA 9th edition formatting guidelines should be sent to editor@jcla.in by 31 March 2025.

We are glad to give notice of the call for abstracts for the yearly Leuven Kant Conference 2025.
Please find below the text of the call.
***
The Leuven Research Group in Classical German Philosophy (LCGP) invites abstracts for the yearly Leuven Kant Conference. We intend the conference to provide a space for open exchange between established scholars, early career researchers, and PhD students. The 2025 edition of the conference is devoted to a particular topic and all speakers will be selected on the basis of their abstracts.
Whereas the quest for a new philosophical method was a goal shared by many modern philosophers, Kant was arguably among the first to take reflections on philosophy to be part of philosophy as such. He conceived of the Critique of Pure Reason as a court for settling philosophical controversies (Axi) and aimed to establish a new kind of philosophy, which he called transcendental philosophy. In another context, he termed this new philosophy a “metaphysics of metaphysics” (AA 10: 269). Kant further used the term “critical philosophy” (AA 05: 5) to denote his inquiries into both the theoretical and practical domains of human rationality. In addition, Kant distinguished between a scholastic and a cosmic concept of philosophy and conceived of the latter as “the science of the relation of all cognition to the essential ends of human reason” (A 839/B 867), thereby suggesting that philosophy is pertinent to existential questions. No less significantly, in the Critique of the Power of Judgment Kant claims that the concept of purposiveness is key to bringing together the theoretical and practical uses of reason, which suggests that teleological motives are central to Kant’s conception of philosophy as a whole. This raises the question as to whether these various accounts of philosophy are coherent.
In view of this apparent plurality, the conference aims to foreground Kant’s views on the tasks and status of philosophy. While we welcome contributions on any aspect of this theme, we are particularly interested in papers that address understudied aspects of Kant’s metaphilosophy. Topics may include, but are not limited to, Kant’s understanding of:
• the relationship between metaphysics, transcendental philosophy, and philosophy as such
• the scientific nature of philosophy
• the relationship between philosophy, mathematics, and the natural sciences
• the peculiarity of philosophy in comparison with other expressions of human rationality such as art, anthropology, history, or religion
• the task of philosophy and the task of the philosopher
• the cosmic and the scholastic concepts of philosophy
• the social and/or political dimension of philosophy
• the task of philosophy in relation to the way he actually proceeds in his various works
• the relationship between philosophy and the history of philosophy
• the relationship between philosophy and the didactics of philosophy
Format: On Campus and Online
Abstracts of no more than 500 words should be submitted through the electronic form available at the website. The abstracts, including the title, should be prepared for double-blind review by removing any identification details.
Presentation time will be 25 minutes + 20 minutes for discussion. We offer a limited number of travel grants to PhD students and other early career researchers without funding of their own.
Deadline for submission: February 1st, 2025.
Notification of acceptance: February 21st, 2025.
