Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Course description:
We will read Hegel’s Phenomenology against the background of recent work done on this work by John McDowell, Robert Brandom and Robert Pippin. These interpretations will privilege a semantic reading of Hegel which will also include consideration of Leipzig Hegel scholarship like that of Steckeler-Weithofer and Sebastian Rödl.

Assessment and permitted materials

Requirements:
Attendance is mandatory and a 20 page paper is required (5000-6000 words).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Text:
The text may be read in German or English. Terry Pinkard’s English translation has side by side English and German. The other English translation is Miller’s, (Oxford). We will be discussing Hegel by paragraph numbers, as is customary in English.
