The Department of Philosophy of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (Comillas CIHS) hosted the International Congress "Hegel's new metaphysics". During three intense days, international specialists from Germany, Chile, Spain, Greece, the Netherlands, Italy, Mexico and the United Kingdom debated the meaning of metaphysics in Hegel's work developed as the Science of Logic, and how Hegel reworks a new concept of fundamental philosophy, as first philosophy and ultimate philosophy, and what is the relationship of this new Hegelian metaphysics with traditional metaphysics (ontology, cosmology, rational psychology, theology) and with Kantian transcendental philosophy. The conference was mainly held in English, with interventions in Spanish and German.

During the conference, the relation of Hegelian metaphysics to the other two parts of the Hegelian system of philosophy (the philosophy of nature and the philosophy of spirit) as well as to the Phenomenology of spirit was also discussed. In addition, the relationship between metaphysics and experience, as well as between metaphysics and nature, was discussed.

K. Ch. Fr. Krause's critique of the Hegelian system was very much present, as was the interpretation of Hans Friedrich Fulda (1930-2023), lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Heidelberg, one of the greatest Hegel experts of recent times, who formed the backbone of a large part of the conference, and to whom a tribute was paid, both to his work and to his person.

This event was the 8th conference of the International Network Hegel's Relevance, and was also supported by the "Hegel in Perspective" Project of the University of Valencia. The results of this conference will be published in about a year's time, in English, in a collective volume published by Brill.
