The Individual?”hegelpd research group2020-08-27 | In order to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Hegel’s birth, hegelpd has launched the Padova Hegel Lectures: the series consists of 13 lectures given by international Hegel scholars, aimed at exploring Hegelian philosophy as a whole, investigating its main insights as well as its relevance for contemporary concerns.
This is the video of the first lecture that has be given by Tereza Matějčková (Charles University, Prague).
The title of the lecture is 'What Is Absent from the Phenomenology of Spirit: The World? The Individual?'.
The lecture has taken place at the University of Padova on 11th February, 2020.
Abstract:
Two things have been critically levelled against Hegel’s Phenomenology: that the world disappears in an all-encompassing spirit, and that, with this, individuality is destroyed too. As to the first criticism, I will claim that it is unfounded. The second objection does have some justification; yet I will claim that the ambivalent status of individuality is the very reason why Hegel is an interesting author, especially today.
In the lecture, I will accept the hypothesis that the Phenomenology can be read as a Bildungsroman. Against traditional interpretations, I aver that it is not the consciousness that “builds itself up”; instead, the reader witnesses a gradual crystallization of a specific world-order. In my lecture, I will focus on the concept of “world,” arguing that, for Hegel, world is a model of reality, an attempt to capture reality and devise a plan for its understanding. I will schematically present the dominant world-pictures implicit at individual levels of the Phenomenology: the world-picture devised by consciousness, self-consciousness, reason, objective, and subjective spirit. Eventually, these world-picture fail in their function as appropriate or justified models of reality which means that they lead to epistemological, moral, or practical failures.
Absolute knowledge is a level of knowing that enables a world-conception that captures reality in the most appropriate manner. This world, based on the recognition of finitude and plurality as constitutive principles of reality, can be considered the world of modern society. Yet despite the appreciation of finitude, Hegel’s conception of individuality remains ambiguous. In fact, individuality is not part of society; modern society is made up not of individuals but of supra-individual communication. This denigration of individuality has often been considered Hegel’s failure. Yet, the very fact that individuality is excluded from society is Hegel’s original insight that can appear as enlightening especially today when the intuition, that individuals can just “walk into” society and change it, appears naïve.

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, now his main research focus, J.-F. Kervégan has been investigating the status of juridic normativity. He analyzed the way in which Kant’s and Hegel’s conception of normativity (“practical reason”) can feed the contemporary debate (post-Kelsenian and analytic debate) on the theory of right and how they can represent a solution aware of the difficulties implicit in this matter, especially concerning the relationship between right and ethics.
During the interview that we present here, Professor Kervégan discussed the following issues:
⁃ Hegelian institutionalism; ⁃ The reading of the Hegelian institutionalism in the Anglophone debate: ⁃ The contribution of Hegel’s philosophy to the theory of normativity.Remo Bodei, La civetta e la talpa, il concetto di filosofia in Hegel, Padova, 26/11/14, 3/3hegelpd research group2014-12-23 | Siamo lieti di presentare le riprese della conferenza tenuta dal prof.
