2020-2021 PADOVA RESEARCH SEMINAR
The topic of this year’s research seminar of the Doctoral School in Philosophy of the University of Padova is the presence (and influence) of Hegel’s thought in various contemporary philosophical debates, with the aim of illuminating the way contemporary philosophy relates to Hegelian philosophy. The seminar does not primarily discuss interpretative secondary literature on various aspects of Hegel’s philosophy, but rather the way in which some philosophers who have developed an autonomous and original path of thought have explicitly drawn from Hegel’s insights to articulate their philosophical projects. This includes a discussion of R. Brandom’s approach to Hegel, A.C. Danto’s Hegelian aesthetics, the peculiar twist given to Hegel’s idea by S. Žižek’s. The discussion also touches upon Hegel’s relationship with today’s recognition theorists, the new analytical metaphysics, the different variations of ecological thought. The purpose of the meetings is to present the different hermeneutical perspectives and to consider them in direct relationship with Hegel’s text.
The following meetings have already taken place:
Jan 12th, 2021: Armando Manchisi presented Self-Realization, Recognition, Alienation: The Influence of Hegel on Contemporary Critical Theory.

PADOVA HEGEL LECTURES
hegelpd organized a series of lectures with international Hegelian scholars in order to celebrate Hegel’s 250th birthday. Due to the pandemic, the lectures have been held online as Zoom meetings.
The fifth lecture, entitled ¿Filosofía del derecho sin Ciencia de la lógica? Un debate en curso, was held by Miguel Giusti on March 30th, 2021.
The sixth lecture, entitled Can Hegel’s Philosophy of Art help us to understand Contemporary Visual Culture?, was held by Paul Kottman on April 19th, 2021.
HEGELPD PRIZE
The prize is awarded to high-quality scientific contributions recently appeared in the field of Hegelian studies.
The hegelpd-prize 2021 goes to Christoph Menke’s volume Autonomie und Befreiung. Studien zu Hegel (Suhrkamp, 2018). Christoph Menke will be invited to Padova to present his work and to discuss it with the members of the research group at hegelpd and everyone who is interested, once it is possible to hold in-person seminars.
Due to the large number of outstanding works that have been nominated, it was considered to also award a mention to an article. This year’s mention for the hegelpd-prize goes to Berta M. Pérez, Hegel’s Time: Between Tragic Action and Modern History, which appeared in Hegel Bulletin, 40 (3), 464-483.
In addition, the editorial staff of hegelpd decided to give an honorable mention to the work of Klaus Vieweg dedicated to Hegel’s biography: Hegel: Der Philosoph der Freiheit (C.H. Beck, 2019).
