The owl of Minerva is known to begin its flight at dusk. But are we soon to face a dawn or an evening twilight? In response to Thomas Wendt's question, philosophers associated with the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Leipzig gathered for a working conference in March 2019 to assess the theoretical and practical scope of epoch-related reflections in philosophy.

From a strong demand for interventionist thinking to careful reflection on past epochs, contributions range from Plato through Hegel to Jaspers, presenting a spectrum of philosophical perspectives that calls for further discussion.
