Response to my Four Critics
I am grateful to the Reviews Editor for the Hegel Bulletin , Susanne Herrmann-Sinai, for arranging this discussion of my book, Time and History in Hegelian Thought and Spirit (2023). I appreciate this opportunity to clarify and expand on some of the main ideas of the book, including those that are the most challenging to defend. I also owe thanks, of course, to each of my four critics for giving their valuable time to this project. In the context…
Does Philosophy Need to Know Its History
Time in Hegel's Preface to the Phenomenology
In the Preface to the Phenomenology , Hegel indicates that the “philosophical” or “scientific” mode of cognition that emerges from the journey of consciousness contrasts with its “mathematical” counterpart which ignores time. The task of this paper is to draw clues from the Preface to the role Hegel assigns temporality in the Phenomenology . The thesis defended is that underlying the rigidity he discovers in mathematical cognition is what he take…

Hegel on Philosophy in History
In this volume honouring Robert Pippin, prominent philosophers such as John McDowell, Slavoj Žižek, Jonathan Lear, and Axel Honneth explore Hegel's proposals concerning the historical character of philosophy. Hegelian doctrines discussed include the purported end of art, Hegel's view of human history, including the history of philosophy as the history of freedom (or autonomy), and the nature of self-consciousness as realized in narrative or in ac…
Bewusstsein/Consciousness
Hegel's Critique of Kant
Sally Sedgwick presents an account of Hegel's critique of Kant's theoretical philosophy. She argues that Hegel offers a critique of and alternative to the conception of cognition that Kant defended in his 'critical' period, and explores Hegel's claim to derive from Kantian doctrines clues to a superior form of idealism
The Reception of Kant's Critical Philosophy
Hegel
Hegel, McDowell and recent defences of Kant
According to Graham Bird, the interpretation and critique of Kant recently defended by John McDowell in his book Mind and World is “fundamentally mistaken” (Bird 1996: 219). Bird is not alone in holding this view; it is also shared by other prominent Kantians such as Henry Allison and Michael Friedman. All agree that the account McDowell provides of what he calls the “transcendental” side of Kant perpetuates unfortunate myths about the nature and…
The Reception of Kant's Critical Philosophy
The period from Kant to Hegel is one of the most intense and rigorous in modern philosophy. The central problem at the heart of it was the development of a new standard of theoretical reflection and of the principle of rationality itself. The essays in this volume, published in 2000, consider both the development of Kant's system of transcendental idealism in the three Critiques, the Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science, and the Opus Postu…
Hegel, McDowell, and Recent Defenses of Kant
Longuenesse on Kant and the Priority of the Capacity to Judge
In her book Kant and the Capacity to Judge, Be ́atrice Longuenesse makes two apparently incompatible claims about the status of the categories in Kant?s Critique of Pure Reason. On the one hand, the categories, in her words, ?result from [the] activity of generating and combining concepts according to logical forms of judgment? and are thus ?in no way prior to the act of judging?. On the other, they guide the unity (the prediscursive synthesis) w…

On Lying and the Role of Content in Kant's Ethics
On the Relation of Pure Reason to Content
If Hegel is right in his critique of Kant's ethics as an formalism, then it is true that this has devastating consequences for Kantian moral theory, and that as many have assumed there remains very little to be said in favor of Kant's formalist orientation. In spite of the multifaceted character of Hegel's critique, its most serious challenge to Kant can be narrowed down to two related charges, both of which appear in paragraphs 135-41 of the Phi…
