We are pleased to announce the 1st Berlin-Padua DAAD Workshop on Classical German Philosophy “Encountering Objectivity. Reality and Cognition between German Classical Philosophy and Contemporary Debates”.
The workshop will take place at Freie Universität Berlin (Altensteinstr. 15, Raum 003B) on July 10th-11th, 2023, and is organised by Karen Koch, Elena Tripaldi, Dina Emundts, and Luca Illetterati.
The workshop will feature a Keynote Lecture by Sebastian Rand (Georgia State University) and talks by Giulia Bernard (Padua), Valentina Bortolami (Padua/Brock), Luca Corti (Padua), Laura Dequal (Padua), Lucian Ionel (Leipzig), Bojana Jovicevic (Ljubljana), Giovanna Miolli (Padua), Elena Tripaldi (Padua), Ana Vieyra Ramirez (Emory), Jean-Baptiste Vuillerod (Paris/Namur).
The workshop is the first meeting of the DAAD Hochschuldialog mit Südeuropa project “Encountering Objectivity. Reality and Cognition between German Classical Philosophy and Contemporary Debates“, whose aim is to investigate the notion and understanding of objectivity in view of the inevitably situated standpoint of human cognition, bridging the gap between contemporary debates in feminist theory and the posthuman, and Classical German Philosophy.
The project is a collaboration between the chair of the history of philosophy at Freie Universität Berlin and the research group on Classical German Philosophy “hegelpd” at the University of Padua.
Professor Dina Emundts and Professor Luca Illetterati are PIs of the project, Doctor Karen Koch and Doctor Elena Tripaldi are assistants to the project.
