The philosophical movement called German Idealism was born as a continuation of Kant’s critical philosophy. In this context, three great thinkers stand out: Fichte, Schelling, Hegel. What these three thinkers have in common is that they step outside the critical framework drawn by Kant and focus on the idea of the Absolute. Each of these thinkers has addressed the Absolute from a different perspective. Thus, our meetings will, in order: – The problematic of the Self at the source of Fichte’s thought (Session 1), – The problematic of Nature in Schelling (Session 2) – The problematic of Spirit (or Spirit) in Hegel (Session 3). These questions, together with other questions connected to them (such as freedom, identity, knowledge, God and religion, the world and history), reveal the never-ending contemporaneity of German Idealism. One of the aims of our meetings is to emphasize this contemporaneity. Ahmet Soysal: Born in Istanbul in 1957. Lived in Istanbul, Paris, Brussels and Beirut until 1976.
