This book brings together for the first time two philosophers from different traditions and different centuries. While Wittgenstein was a focal point of 20th century analytic philosophy, it was Hegel’s philosophy that brought the essential discourses of the 19th century together and developed into the continental tradition in 20th century. This now-outdated conflict took for granted Hegel’s and Wittgenstein’s opposing positions and is being replaced by a continuous progression and differentiation of several authors, schools, and philosophical traditions. The development is already evident in the tendency to identify a progression from a ‘Kantian’ to a ‘Hegelian phase’ of analytical philosophy as well as in the extension of right and left Hegelian approaches by modern and postmodern concepts. Assessing the difference between Wittgenstein and Hegel can outline intersections of contemporary thinking.

Reviews
»A colorful volume collecting cross-cutting, insightful shots of the contemporary philosophical landscape in light of two great philosophers and the drive to inherit their writings.«
Juliet Floyd, Professor of Philosophy, Boston University
»This collection will be the natural starting point for anyone interested in the relation between these two great philosophers, the interactions between the intellectual currents they inspired, and the current attempts to establish a form of philosophical discourse that unites diverse factions under the mantle of ‘post-analytic’ philosophy.«
Hans-Johann Glock, Professor of Philosophy, University of Zurich
»This collection is the first systematic collective attempt in establishing a background on which future engagement on the topics of idealism and language can be played out, and it should serve as the benchmark for future endeavors on the topic.«
Guido Tana, Unlikely Bedfellows? On a recent rapprochement between Hegel and Wittgenstein, Verifiche XLIX (1-2), 2020, pp. 333–346
» En effet, il y est question de bien d’autres choses que du seul problème de la différence : du jugement à la beauté, de la vie à la normativité, de l’image au langage, toute une panoplie d’intérêts s’avère être représentée dans ce très riche ouvrage, qui est assurément à inclure parmi les contributions significatives aux études hégéliennes.«
