The Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities presents:

Slavoj Zizek – Hegelian Battles – 3 Lectures

The battle for Hegel goes on – new interpretations are emerging which perhaps pose an even greater threat to Hegel’s legacy than the usual rejections of Hegel. This series of lectures will provide a cognitive mapping of this twisted terrain, with the aim to redeem Hegel for the radical thought.

3 December 2015 Lecture 2: What is reconciliation? Hegel against Schiller

Chair: Dr Maria Aristodemou (Birkbeck)
