À l’occasion du colloque international “Wirklichkeit” qui s’est déroulé à Padoue du 3 au 5 Juin 2015, l’équipe d’hegelpd.it a interviewé Jean-François Kervégan.

Vice-Président  de l’Internationale Hegel-Vereinigung, J.-F. Kervégan est Professeur de Philosophie du Droit à l’Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.

Dans le domaine de la philosophie politique, il s’est intéressé au destin de concepts comme ceux d’Etat, de souveraineté, de démocratie ou de droits de l’homme, dans une perspective qui peut s’apparenter à la Begriffsgeschichte allemande.

Dans le champ de la philosophie du droit, auquel il se consacre désormais plus particulièrement, J.-F. Kervégan s’intéresse de façon générale au statut de la normativité juridique. Il réfléchit actuellement à la manière dont la réflexion de Kant et de Hegel sur la normativité (la «raison pratique») peut alimenter le débat contemporain (post-kelsenien, analytique) en matière de théorie du droit et aider à résoudre certaines de ses difficultés, notamment en ce qui concerne le rapport entre droit et éthique.

Dans l’interview que nous vous proposons, il a abordé les thèmes suivants :

– L’Institutionnalisme hégélien ;
– Les courants interprétatifs de l’institutionnalisme hégélien du monde anglo-saxon ;
– La contribution de la philosophie de Hegel à la théorie de la normativité.

During the international congress “Wirklichkeit”, which took place in Padua from June 3rd to 5th 2015, and which was sponsored by the Hegel-Vereinigung, Professor Jean-François Kervégan released an interview to the staff of hegelpd.it.

Jean-François Kervégan is the vice president of the Internationale Hegel-Vereinigung, and he is professor of Philosophy of Right at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.

In political philosophy, Kervégan’s research interests are mainly directed to comprehending the destiny of concepts such as “State”, “sovereignty”, “democracy” and “human rights”, within a perspective which could be considered close to the one of the German Begriffsgeschichte.

In the field of the philosophy of right, which is now his main research focus, J.-F. Kervégan has been investigating the status of juridic normativity.
He analyzed the way in which the Kantian and Hegelian conception of normativity (“practical reason”) can feed the contemporary debate (post-Kelsenian and analytic debate) on the theory of right and how their perspective can help in defining a solution to many of the difficulties characterizing said debate, especially with consideration to the relationship between right and ethics.

During the interview that we present here, Professor Kervégan discussed the following issues:

⁃ Hegelian institutionalism;
⁃ The reading of Hegelian institutionalism in the Anglophone debate:
⁃ The contribution of Hegel’s philosophy to the theory of normativity.
