DESCRIPTION<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Hegel\u2019s\u00a0Phenomenology of Spirit\u00a0<\/i>is one of the most important – and difficult – texts in the history of philosophy, with its original mode of narrative that focuses on the development of human consciousness and spirit over time, introducing the idea of dialectical progression where ideas and concepts evolve through contradiction.<\/p>\n

Since its first publication in 1806-1807, it has captivated generations of philosophers and social theorists, having influenced many schools of thought, such as Marxism, existentialism, feminism and contemporary critical theory. But its importance can also be attested by the passionate responses it provoked among its critics, from Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche to more recent approaches, such as post-structuralism.<\/p>\n

Through the collective reading of the integral text of the\u00a0Phenomenology<\/i>, we will attempt in this Reading Group to understand how action and knowledge develop in the course of the search for truth: of oneself and of the world, and in relation with otherness. We will follow the journey of consciousness through the many figures it encounters – including, for instance, the much discussed figures of the master-slave dialectics, the struggle for recognition, the unhappy consciousness, Antigone, and the beautiful soul – in order to grasp the role of experience in the consciousness\u2019s path towards absolute knowing and to unveil the book\u2019s critical potential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
