Today: "Hegel and Colonialism"

An amazing line-up for the final event of this series!

Event Time: 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK/8pm CET
“Hegel and Colonialism”
Daniel James, Karen Ng, Franz Knappik, and Jamila Mascat with Andrés Saenz de Sicilia

How are central themes in Hegel’s philosophy—freedom, personhood, and the dialectic of lordship and bondage—entangled with his troubling views on colonialism, slavery, and race?

In his later work, Hegel offers assessments that legitimise colonialism in the Americas, African enslavement, and British rule in India. This conversation between leading Hegel scholars examines the impact of these views on his broader system and asks: Can critical theory disentangle Hegelian insights from these connections or revise them to “save Hegel from himself”?

N.B. This event will be 75 minutes long.
