NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY IN IDEALISM

23 July 2024 | 13:00-18:00 - Polak Building 1-23, Campus Woudestein -

This summer seminar gathers researchers who have been working on the concepts of nature and technology in idealist thinkers such as Kant, Hegel, and Schelling, as well as the impact of these concepts beyond the European context, for example, in the Kyoto School. It aims to reflect on the implications of this historical discourse in light of contemporary discussions on the Anthropocene and Planetarization.
