Summer 2018: Self Consciousness and Objectivity.

Follow this link for details.  For readings email brown.2583@osu.edu

Reason is the certainty of consciousness of being all of reality. –Hegel

Self-Consciousness and Objectivity undermines a foundational dogma of contemporary philosophy: that knowledge, in order to be objective, must be knowledge of something that is as it is, independent of being known to be so. Sebastian Rödl revives the thought–as ancient as philosophy but largely forgotten today–that knowledge, precisely on account of being objective, is self-knowledge: knowledge knowing itself.

Sebastian Rödl will be visiting OSU September 12-14 for lectures and a workshop.

Please join us for discussions on Mondays at 4pm in Hagerty 159.
