We are happy to announce that the conference “Kant’s Religion within the Limits of Reason Alone” will be held at the University of Leipzig, on 22th-24th June 2018.
This conference will explore the importance of Kant’s Religion within the Limits of Reason Alone for an understanding of (1) local interpretive difficulties that arise within each of Kant’s three critiques, (2) the critical philosophy as a whole, and (3) the German-Idealist reception of Kant’s philosophy.
The conference is organized jointly by Jim Conant (Leipzig), Eli Friedlander (Tel-Aviv) and Johannes Haag (Potsdam) and Gilad Nir (Leipzig), and it is funded by the German Israeli Fund (GIF), the University of Chicago Center for German Philosophy, the Humboldt Foundation and the FAGI.
Location:
Alte Schlosserei, Kurt-Eisner-Strasse 66 (Hinterhaus)
