Head of project: Simon Gansinger
Despite the vast literature on rights, duties, responsibility, and punishment, the normative notion of wrong is often dealt with, if at all, as an afterthought. This project aims to challenge the casual attitude towards wrong, wrongs, wronging, wrongfulness, and the like, by looking at the concept through the lens of GWF Hegel’s mature philosophy, which takes wrong (Unrecht) to be an integral feature of intersubjective, institutional, and political make-up (“objective spirit”) of the modern world.
