Kierkegaard and Hegel on Faith and Knowledge
Tuesday, 11 November 2008, 5.30pm, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
One of Kierkegaard’s main objections to Hegel’s philosophy is that
it misunderstands the nature of religion by placing it on a par with
various forms of scholarship and knowing. Through his pseudonymous
authors, Kierkegaard stubbornly insists that faith is fundamentally
different from knowledge. How would Hegel respond to Kierkegaard’s
objection? I wish to argue that Hegel would find Kierkegaard’s
conception of faith to be a pure formalism with no determinate content.
For this reason, it cannot be properly designated as Christian faith
since it has no content by which it can be distinguished from the faith
of other religions.

Anscombe on Practical Knowledge
Tuesday, 28 October 2008, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
In her 1957 book Intention, Anscombe wrote:
Can it be that there is something that modern philosophy has blankly misunderstood: namely what ancient and medieval philosophers meant by practical knowledge? Certainly, in modern philosophy, we have an incorrigibly contemplative conception of knowledge. Knowledge must be something that is judged as such by being in accordance with the facts. The facts, reality, are prior, and dictate what is to be said, if it is knowledge (p.57).
In this paper, I try to partly elucidate the concept of practical knowledge and explain why Anscombe thinks that modern philosophy has misunderstood it
