Hegel Society of America

The Hegel Society of America, or HSA, was founded in 1968 at the Wofford Symposium in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Its charter of incorporation as a learned society declares its mission: to promote the study of the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.

These studies include Hegel's place in the history of philosophy, as well as the relationships of Hegel's writings to social, political, and cultural movements within the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. The HSA claims that Hegel's philosophy remains relevant to contemporary issues and fields of knowledge.

HSA membership has surpassed 400. Its members meet every two years for three day seminars. HSA meetings feature a program on a theme selected by a democratic vote at the previous meeting. The proceedings of every meeting since 1982 have been published.

HSA scholars cooperate with scholars from the following institutions:

#Hegel Society of Great Britain
#The Internationale Hegel-Vereinigung
#The Internationale Hegel-Gesellschaft
#The Centre de recherche et de documentation sur Hegel
#The Hegel-Archiv at Ruhr Universität, Bochum, Germany

The HSA never endorses or promotes any particular way of interpreting Hegel.

The HSA official journal is called "The Owl of Minerva", which is published every Spring and Fall. The "Owl" contains articles, reviews, discussions, translations, and bibliographical information about the current scholarship within Hegel studies.

Every member of the HSA receives the "Owl", along with more than 180 libraries worldwide.
