SYMPOSIUM (DATES TBD)
-
In the preface to the first edition of his philosophical Encyclopedia, Hegel boldly predicted that dialectic would one day be recognized as “the only true method” of philosophy. Hegel’s dialectic signaled a direct challenge to Aristotelian logic over 200 years ago, yet in many areas its impact has barely been felt. The Institute for Advanced Dialectical Research calls this historic interdisciplinary Symposium in order to bring thinkers together from around the world in order to discuss the implications of dialectic on various fields and the potentials for further dialectical research and development.
