The Meisterkurs: The Shadow of God will be held at the Humboldt-Universität from Monday 22 July until Friday 26 July. It will be led by Michael Rosen (Harvard University and HU, Berlin) and J.-P. Sandmann (Harvard University and FU, Berlin).
The subject-matter of the course will be Rosen’s 2022 book The Shadow of God: Kant, Hegel and the Passage from Heaven to History (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press). The book is a re-interpretation and contextualization of Classical German Philosophy, focusing particularly on the ideas of history and freedom. Here is a link to a page with materials about the book:
