>> ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The St. Louis Hegelians are one of the most important movements of American cultural history. Founded in the 19th century by an eclectic set of St. Louis school teachers and amateur philosophers, this group helped bring German philosophy (especially the philosophy of Hegel) to the American continent. By adding their own unique American twist to this philosophy, the group is also responsible for taking the first major steps toward producing America's wholly distinct philosophical tradition of Pragmatism. >> LOCATION  The conference will be held at the beautifully restored Old Post Office building in downtown St. Louis.
