The
consortium is a collaborative arrangement among scholars in the Chicago
area studying German philosophy beginning with Kant and German
Idealism, its origins, and its influences on other philosophical
traditions.
The
consortium's aim is twofold:
- first,
to foster discussion of German philosophical texts and systematic
philosophies;
- and
second, to encourage examination of the
central concepts, methods, and concerns from the German tradition, such
as transcendental philosophy, phenomenology, critique, autonomy,
dialectic, alienation, and nihilism.
It is also a
collaborative
enterprise in graduate education. Graduate students in these
areas are encouraged to attend seminars and events at cooperating
institutions, in order to exploit the significant resources in
scholarship in German philosophy in the Chicago area.
The
consortium
sponsors lectures, a yearly workshop of Chicago area scholars, and aims
to disseminate information concerning events, seminars, and reading
groups sponsored by participating departments of interest to scholars
of German philosophy. We hope that the consortium will also
serve as a resource for scholars and students of German philosophy from
outside the Chicago area.
