The Changing World of Spirit in Hegel’s Philosophy of Right
Hegel’s ‘science of right’ is a philosophical account of spirit’s ‘world’. Accordingly, in this essay, I propose to take it as the model of what I call a ‘political cosmology’. In Hegel’s dialectic-speculative philosophy, cosmology becomes a practical, worldly science. It becomes the account of the ways in which spirit immanently constructs, produces and comes to know its own world and itself as the actuality of the world
Cosmological Thinking in Kant’s Critique of Judgment
This essay discusses the “cosmological” issue of the End in the second part of Kant’s Critique of Judgment . At stake is the problem of thinking, reflectively and according to the principle of nature’s formal purposiveness, the end of life and the end of Nature as a whole. The claim is that Kant’s transcendental investigation, generally oriented to the question of “origin,” labors to block out the issue of the End. This is particularly remarkable…
How to philosophize without first principles
The essay proposes to view Hegel's philosophical project as the provocatory task of “philosophizing without first principles.” Key to this view of the activity of philosophizing is Hegel's dialectic‐speculative method, which he establishes in contrast to Kant's transcendental philosophy and to the first principles of Fichte's Jena Wissenschaftslehre . The essay proposes two claims. The first is that dialectic‐speculative thinking is thinking with…
Hegel's Philosophy of Nature
Hegel's Philosophy of Nature constitutes the second part of his mature philosophical system presented in the Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences, and covers an exceptionally broad spectrum of themes and issues, as Hegel considers the content and structure of how humanity approaches nature and how nature is understood by humanity. The essays in this volume bring together various perspectives on Hegel's Philosophy of Nature, emphasizing its…
Form, Formality, Formalism in Hegel’s Dialectic-Speculative Logic
This essay addresses the general systematic question underlying any project of ‘formalization’ of Hegel’s dialectic-speculative logic, namely, the question concerning the peculiar concept of logical ‘form’ and the connected type of ‘formalism’ at stake in a logic that is, programmatically and innovatively within the historical tradition, a ‘dialectic-speculative’ logic
On Stephen Houlgate's Hegel on Being
Stephen Houlgate's long-awaited two volumes on Hegel's Logic of Being offer a thorough presentation and a detailed reconstruction of the Doctrine of Being, which constitutes the first part of the first division of Hegel's Science of Logic (appeared in 1812 in the first edition; revised in the second edition of 1832 published after Hegel's death). The first volume takes on the logic of Quality and the transition to Quantity while the second volume…
Beauty, the feeling
Many philosophers and psychologists have made claims about what is felt in an experience of beauty. Here, we test how well these claims match the feelings that people report while looking at an image, or listening to music, or recalling a personal experience of beauty. We conducted ten experiments (total n = 851) spanning three nations (US, UK, and India). Across nations and modalities, top-rated beauty experiences are strongly characterized by s…
Hegel’s Philosophy of Right and the Idea of the World
Foregrounding Hegel's political cosmology allows us to set his dialectic-speculative theory of the political world in contrast both to ideal theories and to historicist-positivist theories. Against these positions, Hegel upholds his "realism of the idea": the claim that a rational world is neither a pre-given whole nor an unattainable ideal, but the dynamic, immanent orientation of reason that continually constructs and animates the world. Hegel'…

Imaginative Sensibility Understanding, Sensibility, and Imagination in the Critique of Pure Reason
Transcendental Philosophy and the Challenge of the Human Body
This essay discusses Merleau-Ponty's assessment of Kant's philosophy looking first at his critique of Kant's transcendental idealism in the preface to the 1945 Phenomenology of Perception, and second at his account of the duality of the concepts of nature in the 1956-57 lecture notes on Nature at the Collčge de France. In both cases, Merleau-Ponty points to the encounter with the issue of the living/lived body as the stumbling block that halts th…
Mourning Sickness
The Voice, the Body, and the Mind
This essay examines the connection between sensibility and voice in a prominent but generally overlooked historical connection, namely, in the relation between Kant and Herder. On this basis, it draws consequences for our philosophical thinking of the role that the voice plays in articulating philosophical thinking

Ideal embodiment
Life and death in the history of philosophy
This article discusses the role that history and historiography play in Brandom’s Tales of the Mighty Dead. I claim that Brandom’s attempt to integrate a historical dimension in his inferentialist project fails, and argue that the reason for that failure lies in the misconstruction and misreading of Hegel’s idea of rationality with regard, at least, to two fundamental points: to the Hegelian concept of ‘history’ and to his notion of the ‘social’.…

The End of Hegel’s Logic
The last chapter of Hegel's Wissenschaft der Logik is a test for the entire preceding logical development and, thereby, a test for the success of the book as a whole. It is only at this point – namely, at the conclusion of the itinerary of pure speculative–dialectical thinking – that it is possible (and necessary) for Hegel to demonstrate that the logic which has been immanently developed in its successive moments is, indeed, the speculative scie…
Kant and the unity of reason
This is a comprehensive reconstruction and a detailed analysis of Kant's Critique of Judgment. In the light of the third Critique, the book offers a final interpretation of the critical project as a whole. It proposes a new reading of Kant's notion of human experience in which domains, as different as knowledge, morality and the experience of beauty and life, are finally viewed in a unified perspective. The book proposes a reading of Kant's criti…
