Eduardo Mendieta



Professor of Philosophy and Associate Director of the Rock Ethics Institute at The Pennsylvania State University

Resident at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
July–October 2019, January–April 2020

Research topic at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
»Enlightened Religion: Jürgen Habermas’s Philosophy of Religion«

Project outline:
With this project I aim to track the development of Habermas’s thinking about religion, beginning in the sixties, when he wrote some important essays on the role of Jewish thinkers in the transmission of German Idealism, to his forthcoming two volume book Auch eine Geschichte der Philosophie (Suhrkamp, 2019), which traces the debate between faith and knowledge from ancient times through the nineteenth century. (Eduardo Mendieta)

Research partner:
Eduardo Mendieta follows the invitation of Professor Matthias Lutz-Bachmann (Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften) as well as Professor Thomas Schmidt and the Cluster of Excellence »The Formation of Normative Orders« at Goethe University.
