The aim is to provide selected renowned international experts with a platform for a concentrated assessment of current insights and challenges of a renewed Objective Idealism (OI). In particular, the focus lies on its potential to offer scientifically and philosophically grounded knowledge for orientation in the face of international challenges, especially ecological issues such as the climate crisis. Given the global nature of these challenges and the absence of widely accepted legitimizing systems, the urgent question arises as to which philosophical approaches can provide meaningful answers to the pressing problems of our time. In this context, OI is worth considering as a complex, holistic, and particularly well-reflected approach in terms of its theoretical foundations. Subsequently, the results of the conference and online lecture series will be published in print and online (Open Access), featuring transcriptions of all lectures and discussions, supplemented by the video recordings of the events and a series of podcasts.
We appreciate your interest and warmly invite you to participate in the event series!
The editors Prof. Dr. Mark Roche (University of Notre Dame), Dr. Christoph Jermann (Schülerforschungszentrum Hamburg) und Prof. Dr. Christian Illies (Universität Bamberg) with Vittorio Hösle (University of Notre Dame)

This website is currently being developed as an archive for current objective idealist research. The focus is on the works of Vittorio Hösle, arguably today's most prominent representative of this school of thought, whose writings, contributions, and recordings of his annual Summer Schools are to be made available in a collected format.
