The function of this workshop will be to examine the ways in which European philosophers from various schools and traditions within the modern period attempted to account for or utilise embodiment. The invited speakers will be pursuing this theme beginning from post-Kantian Idealism, moving through the German Romanticism and French Spiritualism of the 19th century, up until the Frankfurt School and the Phenomenological tradition in the first half of the 20th century.

Speakers:

  • Rudolf Bernet (KU Leuven) - '"Quid corpus possit" - Spinoza's Phenomenology of Bodily Affections'
  • James Clarke (York) - 'Fichte on Embodiment'
  • Ken Gemes (Birkbeck) - 'Nietzsche on the I, the Self, and the Body'
  • Owen Hulatt (York) - tbc
  • Liu Zhe (Peking) - 'The Problem of Embodiment in the Early Merleau-Ponty'
  • Katherine Morris (Oxford) - 'Pain: Sartre and Anglo-American Philosophy of Mind'
