Hegel\'s Philosophical Psychology (co-editor)

Hegel’s Philosophical Psychology Edited by Susanne Herrmann-Sinai and Lucia Ziglioli. New York: Routledge 2016

Hegel’s Philosophical Psychology draws attention to a largely overlooked piece of Hegel’s philosophy: his philosophical treatment of psychology at the end of the Philosophy of Subjective Spirit, which itself belongs to his main work, the Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences. This volume makes the case that Hegel’s approach to philosophy of mind as developed within this text can make an important contribution to current discussions about mind and subjectivity, and can help clarify the notion of spirit (Geist) within Hegel’s larger philosophical project. Through an accurate and authoritative examination of the text by scholars from different schools of Hegel studies, the reader will be guided towards a multi-faceted understanding of Hegel’s philosophical project of Psychology and overcoming the often daunting difficulty of Hegel’s language. The volume provides a route of access both to Hegel’s account of mind itself and to its potential significance to current philosophical conversations. Part I begins with an overview of Hegel’s Philosophy of Subjective Spirit, which outlines both its historical and systematic context. Parts II and III then investigate the individual chapters of the sections on psychology: the theoretical mind and the practical and free mind. The volume concludes by examining the challenges which Hegel’s Psychology poses for contemporary epistemological debates and the philosophy of psychology. Throughout, the volume brings Hegel’s views into dialogue with 20th- and 21st-century thinkers – such as Anscombe, Bergson, Bourdieu, Brandom, Chomsky, Davidson, Freud, Malabou, McDowell, Sellars, Wittgenstein, Wollheim, and others – and places the discussion in debates of philosophy of mind and of psychology, epistemology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of action.
