What future!? many people might say. Following on from his talk on harmonizing three worlds, philosopher and author Matthew Del Nevo gave a presentation about the continuing relevance of Hegel and of a sense of time, timing, timeliness, time-boundedness, and progress as a critical category of the speculative imagination. He refered to Wagner’s text, The Future of the Artwork, influenced by Schopenhauer and Hegel, to talk about the crucial place of music in spirituality and education.
