We are pleased to announce the establishment of the "*Religion &
Post-Kantian Philosophy Research Cluster*" within the School of
Philosophical and Historical Inquiry at the University of Sydney. The
overall goal of the cluster is to consolidate and expand upon the active
research program that has built up in the last few years around the
Philosophy of Religion Research Seminar, the KAPKI (Kantian &
Post-Kantian Idealism) Seminars, and an ARC funded project on "The God
of Hegel's Post-Kantian Idealism".
The first *symposium *of the research cluster, devoted to "*Religion,
Aesthetics and Poetics in the Post-Kantian Tradition*", will be held on
*Friday, 14 August* *2009, 9.30am -- 6.30pm* in the *Refectory *in the
Quadrangle (the University of Sydney). All welcome.
*Symposium: /Religion, Aesthetics and Poetics in the Post-Kantian
Tradition/*
Recently, philosophical attention has been increasingly directed to the
nexus between two movements emerging at the end of the eighteenth
century in the wake of Kant's revolutionary philosophy: the "German
idealist" philosophising of Fichte, Schelling and Hegel; and the first
wave of romanticism---the "early" or "Jena" romanticism---of figures
such as Hölderlin, Friedrich Schlegel and Novalis. By simultaneously
developing and reinterpreting basic Kantian ideas, both movements
contributed to transforming thought about central aspects of human
existence, and hence have significantly shaped philosophical
perspectives of nineteenth century authors, such as Schopenhauer,
Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche. This workshop is dedicated to exploring the
space opened by German Idealism and early romanticism for thinking about
religion and its relation to the aesthetic and poetic dimension of human
self-fashioning, especially considering the regulative and symbolic
meanings of religious notions and practices.
