Wirklichkeit. Beitrage zu einem Schlusselbegriff der Hegelschen Philosophie: Hegel-Tagung in Padua im Juni 2015 in Bloomington, MN

This volume contains the contributions to a workshop held in conjunction with the International Hegel Society's Hegel Days from 3 to 5 June 2015 at the University of Padua. On this occasion, a pivotal as well as currently much debated concept was under discussion. The concept of "reality" combines the current confrontations with realism and anti-realism and the juxtaposition of realism and idealism within classical German philosophy. Above all, however, the term embraces the challenge of Hegelian philosophy, which finds its seminal expression in the famous double phrase, "Was vernunftig ist, das ist wirklich; und was wirklich ist, das ist vernunftig". The contributions in this volume discuss the question of reality both on a theoretical level and in terms of the practical dimension. In both cases, the focus is on Hegel's line of argumentation itself as well as on its re-examination in the context of contemporary philosophy.
