__________________________________________________


Hegel's oeuvre is a benchmark as regards the association of
philosophy with history. His works are central both to the
development of a philosophical conception of history and to the
establishment of a canon – problematic or not – of the history of
philosophy. Moreover, it is fair to say that Hegel’s approach to the
history of philosophy is inseparable from Hegelian philosophy itself,
since it is through the former that the main concepts of the latter
are developed and justified. If this is the case, discussing Hegel's
relationship with other traditions of thought not directly included
in his history of philosophy is important not only for recognizing
the philosophical value of those traditions, but also for indicating
the tensions in the conceptual core of Hegelian philosophy.

Bearing this in mind, this call-for-papers launches a series of
dossiers for the Journal Estudos Hegelianos on the topic "Hegel from
an intercultural perspective". This series aims to discuss the tense,
and yet potentially rich, relationships between Hegelian philosophy
and non-European philosophical traditions. For the first volume of
this series, we have chosen the topic "Hegel and India". We take this
topic to be a suitable one for the inaugural dossier. After all,
among Hegel's confrontations with other cultures, the one with Indian
thought is one of his most ambiguous. Initially characterized by an
attitude of hostility, Hegel’s attitude towards India becomes more
ambivalent over time, which is certainly also a consequence of
Hegel's increasing access to works on Indian culture and translations
of originals. Accordingly, Hegel oscillates in his judgment of the
philosophical value of Indian thought. What is at issue in this
Hegelian engagement with Indian culture? Is it a simple historical
debate about the geographic locations where the philosophical
reflection takes place or should one see here also some underlying
philosophical challenge? What kind of challenges does the Indian
thought pose to Hegel’s philosophy?

These questions are to be explored in this first volume of our series
on "Hegel from an Intercultural Perspective". Thus, we welcome all
articles and contributions that deal in any way with Hegel's
relationship to Indian culture, thought, philosophy, and religion. In
particular, we welcome articles that analyze the role of this
confrontation in Hegel's philosophy, as regards not only his
conception of the history of philosophy, but also his philosophy of
history, aesthetics, religion or even the science of logic.
Translations and reviews related to the topic of the dossier are also
welcome.
