Simon Lumsden will present the final KAPKI paper for 2008 (abstract below) in the Philosophy Common S413 Monday 1st December at 4pm. All welcome.
Between Nature and Spirit: Hegel's account of Habit Hegel's examination of habit in his subjective spirit sits at a critical juncture between nature and spirit. This 'second nature' has often been interpreted as leaving nature behind. This paper argues that Hegel's examination of habit should not be understood in this way. While habit bridges the gap between nature and spirit it cannot be understood as a mere transition point. Habit represents a distinct way of considering the spirit-nature relation that challenges the common Kantian inspired distinction between a space of reasons and a space of causes (terms by which the spirit-nature relation is often understood).
