What is Second Nature? - Reason, History, Institutions http://www.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/eviancolloquium/ Organization: Freie Universitaet Berlin Location: Evian Country: France Start Date: 7/13/2008 End Date: 7/19/2008 Description: Human beings have always understood themselves as beings that are not (merely) natural in certain respects. It is in this theoretical context (among other things) that the invocation of the idea of "second nature" becomes interesting as a possible alternative to that of culture. For what distinguishes the idea of second nature is its insistence that the irreducibly expressive and self-constituting activities of human beings should be understood as broadly natural phenomena, not solely cultural ones. The wide variety of determinations of the concept of second nature brought forward in the course of Western thought from Aristotle through Hume and Hegel to Bourdieu and McDowell (to mention only a very small selection of thinkers), can be arguably captured in terms of the three concepts of reason, history, and institutions. But different philosophical traditions and systematic options intersect in multiple ways in the course of reflecting on the idea of second nature. The 14th International Philosophy Colloquium Evian invites philosophers to consider and discuss these intersections in an intensive and collective way, transgressing the narrow confines of particular schools and traditions in philosophy. The passive mastery of French, German, and English (the three languages of discussion of the colloquium) is an indispensable prerequisite for its participants.
