*In English.

The "Hegel's 250th Anniversary: Too late?" International Philosophical Conference highlights the topic of lateness. With Hegel, we can think the relation between the beginning and the end that is crucial for the present time. Here, the question is not of this or that end (of history, grand narratives, ideology, art, philosophy) but rather of the radical end and our relationship to it, that is, our too-lateness. Today, as the world increasingly more obviously and unstoppably slides towards its ultimate end, and as it seems that, in relation to the pandemic speed of reality, thought is increasingly falling behind, the question arises: What now? Is it actually too late?

Let us say, however, that the 250th anniversary of Hegel´s birth marks the time of a beginning and the time of an end not because it is an anniversary, but because, with Hegel, we can think the relation between the beginning and the end that is crucial for the present time. Here, the question is not of this or that end (of history, grand narratives, ideology, art, philosophy) but rather of the radical end and our relationship to it, that is, our too-lateness. Today, as the world increasingly more obviously and unstoppably slides towards its ultimate end, and as it seems that, in relation to the pandemic speed of reality, thought is increasingly falling behind, the question arises: What now? Is it actually too late?
