Cfp: 14th international kant congress, “Kant’s Project of Enlightenment” (Bonn, September 8–13, 2024)

We are glad to give notice that the Call for Paper for the 14th International Kant Congress “Kant’s Project of Enlightenment”, which will take place on September 8-3, 2024 at the University of Bonn, is now opened. The event is organised by the Kant-Gesellschaft

 

In celebration of the 300th anniversary of Kant’s birth, and in view of the political developments of our time, the theme of the congress will be “Kant’s
Project of Enlightenment”. In 2024, the city of Bonn will also be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the German Constitution, which was enacted into law in Bonn on May 23, 1949, as the Grundgesetz of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The Enlightenment emphasized the moral autonomy of the individual and the inalienable political rights of all human beings. Its aim was to overcome deeply engrained prejudices in religion, the state, and society and to defend the principles of rational criticism and emancipation, all while advocating a scientific orientation to the world. The ideas of the Enlightenment are understood to be universal: All human beings are to be considered equal, regardless of gender, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, or sexual orientation. Kant remains one of the most important representatives of the European Enlightenment and one of its central contributors.
