Contemporary Relevance of Hegelian Naturalism: Philosophical and Interdisciplinary Outcomes. International Conference, University of Parma, June 19th-21st 2019 Venue: University of Parma, Via M. D’Azeglio 85 Department of Humanities and Social Sciences (DUSIC) Confirmed keynote speakers: Alison Stone (Lancaster University) Catherine Malabou (Kingston University, London) Heikki Ikäheimo (University of New South Wales) Christopher Yeomans (Purdue University, Indiana) Emmanuel Renault (Université Paris Nanterre) Sebastian Rödl (Universität Leipzig) Luca Illetterati (Università di Padova) Arvi Särkelä (Universität Luzern) Luca Corti (Università di Padova) Mario De Caro (Università di Roma Tre) The conference will address interdisciplinary issues connected to a naturalistic reading of Hegelian thought, with special reference to the social sciences, neurosciences, biology and philosophy of biology. Hegel’s philosophy is in fact devoted to a revision of the transcendental philosophy by highlighting that thinking and cognition originate from the natural requisites of the subject. In this sense, his philosophy entails a novel naturalism accounting for the concrete interdependence between nature and thinking, life and mind, and enhancing our understanding of the human nature and its social outcomes. This version of naturalism not only has relevance for the contemporary philosophical debate on this category of thinking, it can also be elaborated through an interdisciplinary approach. What is Hegelian naturalism about, and why is it philosophically relevant? Can Hegel’s philosophy improve our understanding on topics related to different disciplines? Is a dialogue between Hegelian thinking and the previous mentioned disciplines methodologically possible? In order to answer those questions, the conference will gather Hegelian scholars and researchers from different disciplines.
