Pittsburgh Continental Philosophy Network

Just as a reminder, the PCPN reading group is moving to a new location. Since Industry wasa bit loud, we have switched over to Tender (directly across the street), which was totally swanky and quite a bit quieter. So, we shall meet there tonight at 8:00pm, don’t miss it!

Tonight, as per our schedule, we will be tackling Kojève’s “In Place of and Introduction” which offers a hugely influential interpretation of Hegel’s Phenomenology, particularly the Master/Slave dialectic.

As a reminder, there is no expectation that one attend every meeting. If you havent been able to stop in yet, feel perfectly free to stop by tonight.

I will never be as cool as Kojève.

Sorry for the late notice, yall; but, reading group is moving to a new location. Last week, Industry was booked up, so we checked out Tender (directly across the street), which was totally swanky and quite a bit quieter. So, we shall meet there tonight at 8:00pm, don’t miss it!

Tonight, as per our schedule, we will be tackling Hegel’s “Master/Slave Dialectic,” an incredibly famous, and reasonably short passage from the Phenomenology of Spirit, which was to become the central text in his 20th century French reception (as we will see next week).

Waiting for your philosophy fix in the new year? Don’t worry, there is some exciting news brewing at the PCPN, expect updates in the next week or two. Look forward to details about a new PCPN steering committee, updates about the exciting new shape of the reading group for this year (spoiler: more thematic consistency), a CFP for next year’s conference, and much much more.
