Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies
German Philosophy Seminars - Hegel's Origination of Property, the Family and the State. Texts and Critique
Seminar 4 'Property', 'Possession' and the Family
Convenor: Dr Laurence Hemming (IGRS, London)
Each seminar will begin with an introductory commentary, and be followed by a close
reading of a short text. Texts will be provided in German and English in PDF format, and
will normally be a maximum of 15 pages (often much shorter), chosen from: the Logik of
1832; System der Sittlichkeit (System of Ethical Life); sections of the third of the Jenaer Systementwürfe; the Phänomenologie des Geistes; and the Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts (Elements of the Philosophy of Right). Knowledge of German is not essential to attend the seminars, but texts and key terms will be discussed in German and English.
