In the wake of Kant’s critical turn, truth and falsity are no longer static and unmediated opposites. Rather, falsity often proves to be a constitutive moment of truth itself. This insight is reflected in central concepts such as dialectics, critique and enlightenment, in the distinctions between appearance and thing-in-itself, the transcendental and the transcendent, belief, opinion and knowledge – as well as in the concepts of analogy, symbol and metaphor. The conference will focus in particular on the question of the difference between truth and appearance, the truth content of aesthetics and the epistemological as well as ontological status of the a priori.
The conference will be held in English and German.
