We are glad to give notice that the 10th Berlin Kant Course, with Karl Schafer (UT Austin), will be dedicated to “Kant’s Reason”, and will find place at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, June 19th-21st, 2023.
***
The Berlin Kant Course is a regularly occurring, compact seminar, where internationally known researchers present their own new work regarding Kant’s philosophy, its influence on the history of philosophy, or its reception in contemporary systematic philosophy. After past seminars with Lucy Allais, Patricia Kitcher, Michael Friedman, Nick Stang, Marcus Willaschek, Andrew Chignell, Michelle Kosch, and Daniel Sutherland, our guest this year will be Karl Schafer (UT Austin), who will present a novel interpretation of Kant’s conception of reason and its significance for his philosophical system.
The Berlin Kant Course is aimed at advanced students and philosophers from Berlin and elsewhere. Because the number of participants is limited, registration is required in order to participate (E-Mail: chuguevg@hu-berlin.de). Please register by June 16, 2023. Registered participants will receive the readings.
