Filosofi
Mennesket har i over 2.500 år søkt begrunnede svar på grunnleggende spørsmål om naturen, samfunnet og seg selv.
I teoretisk filosofi drøftes forutsetningene for forståelse og vitenskapelig innsikt. I praktisk filosofi drøftes prinsippene for hvordan vi bør handle og leve, som individer og som samfunnsmedlemmer. I tillegg tar filosofi for seg spørsmål om det skjønne, om religion og om eksistens.
Filosofien forsøker å se de ulike fagdisiplinene i sammenheng og bidra til en bevisstgjøring av forholdet mellom vitenskap, menneske og samfunn.
Call for Papers
Conference
Kierkegaard and the Philosophical Traditions
Norwegian University of Science and Technology,
Faculty of Humanities, Trondheim, Norway
August 09-10, 2012
Sponsored by The Nordic Network of Kierkegaard Research (NordForsk),
in cooperation with The Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre and NTNU's Theory of Science Forum
Kierkegaard's role as a philosopher has long been a disputed one. While he has been hailed as the forerunner of existentialism, he has also been described as a poet-philosopher and dismissed by proponents of analytic philosophy as "not a real philosopher." But in recent years scholars have begun to reconsider many of the established views about Kierkegaard's relation to philosophy. Today Kierkegaard is gradually making his way into central discussions in mainstream philosophy such as debates about narrative identity, ethics, religion, and philosophy of mind. At the same time he remains an important figure in historical studies of 19th-century philosophy, theology, and literature as well as in his relation to the leading figures of the existentialist movement.
This conference has as its goal to explore these various relations by opening up for studies in source-work research, history of reception, and current debates within philosophy and related fields such as theology and literature. We plan to include special sessions dedicated to the following:
Kierkegaard and Antiquity, the Patristics and the Middle Ages
Kierkegaard and Kantianism, Romanticism, and German Idealism
Kierkegaard and Danish Golden Age Philosophy, Theology, and Literature
Kierkegaard and Existentialism
Kierkegaard and Contemporary Debates
