Biography
Antonios Kalatzis specializes in philosophy with a focus on Kant, Hegel and the Post-Hegelian philosophy up to today. He completed his dissertation at the Freie Universität Berlin. Between 2013 and 2017 he has been Postdoctoral Researcher at the Martin Buber Society in the Humanities and Social Sciences at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Between 2017 and 2020 he was research associate (wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) and founding member of the scientific direction of the research group Dynamiken und Erfahrungen der Globalsierung/ Dynamiques et savoirs de la globalisation at Centre Marc Bloch. Together with Markus Messling and Leyla Dakhli he set the programmatic goals and the research profile of the group, while co-authoring its founding texts. At the moment he is co-directing the research group "Critical Thinking in the Plural. Conceptual Paths in the Humanities and in the Social Sciences" and is head of the working group "Centre Marc Bloch Arbeitsgruppe Deutscher Idealismus" Additionally, Antonios is the member of the selection committee of the Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and scientific coordinator for the cooperation between the Martin Buber Society of Fellows and the Centre Marc Bloch.
The focal point of his research is the intersection between classic German philosophy, its transformations in contemporary philosophy and its relevance for the philosophy of religion in a secular age. He is particularly interested in the question on the meaning of philosophical activity after the so-called collapse of metaphysics. In more detail, this question is being addressed through the comparison of Hegel’s philosophy to the works of philosophers that offer an equally thorough reflection on the meaning of philosophy per se, such as Franz Rosenzweig, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Löwith and through the examination of the interaction between logic, language and sociality and the challenge of historicity for the universal claims of philosophical knowledge.
His dissertation, Explikation und Immanenz. Das dreifache Argument der Wissenschaft der Logik, appears shortly at the Hegel-Jahrbuch Sonderband-series (De Gruyter). At the moment his is editing together with Anne Eusterschulte the volume From Ionia to Jena. Franz Rosenzweig and the History of Philosopy (Neofelis) and with Anne Eusterschulte and Enrico Lucca the volume Into Life. Franz Rosenzweigon Knowledge Aesthetics and Politics, to be published at Supplements to The Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy-series (Brill Academic Publishers). Numerous publications in journals and collective volumes.
