Prof. Steve Fuller

The History of Philosophy as Told from the Future

www.kul.pl/Kaminski2020

This series of lectures is inspired by two future-oriented responses to Hegel: Ludwig Feuerbach’s Principles of the Philosophy of the Future and Benedetto Croce’s What Is Living and Dead in the Philosophy of Hegel? Hegel invited ‘futuristic’ responses because of his own future-oriented approach to history, including the history of philosophy. Prof. Fuller intends to retell the history of Western philosophy from the Greeks with an eye to its relevance to the emerging trans/post-human order. As might be expected from the ‘cunning of reason’, certain figures and issues that have stood out in conventional histories of philosophy will recede from view, and others will more clearly come into their own.
