This book examines the significance of Kant’s political philosophy in the context of contemporary philosophical and political debates. In the last few decades, Kantian specialists have increasingly manifested a purely exegetic and philological interest in Kant’s oeuvre, while contemporary philosophers and scientists tend to use Kant with scant hermeneutical care, thus misrepresenting or misunderstanding his positions. This volume countervails these tendencies by focusing more on specific themes of contemporary relevance in Kant’s writings. It looks to Kant’s political thought for insight on tackling issues such as freedom of speech, democracy and populism, intergenerational justice, economic inequality, money, poverty, international justice and gender/feminism. Featuring readings by well-known Kant specialists and emerging scholars with unorthodox approaches to Kant’s philosophy, the volume fills a significant gap in the existing scholarship on the philosopher and his works. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy, politics and ethics.
This volume investigates Kant's conception of what a human being is and how a human being can act autonomously. Scholars explore fundamental topics such as freedom, autonomy, and personhood from both practical and theoretical perspectives, and consider their importance within Kant's wider system of philosophy.
A thorough study of why Kant developed the concept of autonomy, one of his central legacies for contemporary moral thought.
Obwohl es verbreitet für ein bloßes Nebenthema gehalten wird, spielt das Thema der Poesie doch eine wichtige Rolle in Kants Denken. Mit dem Ziel, geläufige Missverständnisse zu zerstreuen, versammelt der vorliegende Band Beiträge verschiedener Spezialisten zur Bestimmung des Orts und der Rolle der Poesie in Kants Denken. Es handelt sich um den Versuch einer Neubewertung der Wichtigkeit der Poesie für seine moralische, politische, anthropologische, philosophische und ästhetische Systematik.
The Proceedings present the contributions to the 13th International Kant Congress which was held at the University of Oslo, August 6-9, 2019. The congress, which hosted speakers from more than thirty countries and five continents, was dedicated to the topic of the court of reason. The idea that reason stands before itself as a tribunal characterizes the whole of Kant's critical project. Without such a court, reason falls into conflict with itself. With such a court in place, however, it may succeed in establishing the possibility and limits of metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, law and science. The idea of reason being its own judge is not only pivotal to a proper understanding of Kant's philo...

This book advances our understanding of the nature, grounds and limits of human dignity by connecting it with Kant’s notion of an ideal moral community, or "Kingdom of Ends". It features original essays by leading Kant scholars and moral and political philosophers from around the world. Although Kant’s influential injunction to treat humanity as an end in itself and never merely as a means has garnered the most attention among those interested in analyzing human dignity with a Kantian lens, Kant himself places much more emphasis on the Kingdom of Ends as crucial for defining human dignity. The chapters in this collection focus not only on interpretive issues related to the Kingdom of End...
"Falar sobre e interconexão entre a Filosofia e o Direito se demonstra uma missão de extrema complexidade e ao mesmo tempo singela, haja vista que, ressalvadas suas particularidades e teorias próprias, ambas se complementam mutuamente, perfazendo-se quase que como inseparáveis. Diante disso, por meio da coletânea de artigos que compõe a presente obra, convidamos cada um dos leitores a revisitar conceitos sobre raça e modernidade, negacionismo, ética aristotélica, meritocracia, pobreza, ética da justiça, ética do cuidado, moralidade, veracidade, disciplina, cancelamento, cultura troll, método sociológico, positivismo jurídico, direitos humanos, dignidade da pessoa humana, prote...
Die Kongressakten des 12. Internationalen Kant-Kongresses, der im Jahr des 650-Jahrjubiläums der Universität Wien zum Thema „Natur und Freiheit“ vom 21.–25. September 2015 an der Universität Wien stattgefunden hat, versammeln die Ergebnisse dieses Kongresses. Mit dem Thema „Natur und Freiheit“ wurde zwei tragenden Begriffen des Kritischen Werks Kants Rechnung getragen. Kants Philosophie wird bis heute weltweit diskutiert, was sich auch in den Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern des Kongresses spiegelte. Gleichwohl wurden und werden immer wieder Zweifel an der Berechtigung einer Philosophie der Freiheit laut, wie sie insbesondere für Kants Moralphilosophie grundlegend ist. Spannung ...
Qual o lugar das experiências, dos sentimentos e dos relatos no diagnóstico de injustiças? Sempre sentimos quando estamos diante de situações injustas? De onde fala o teórico ou a teórica na sua intenção de descrever experiências de sofrimento? Afinal, como podemos compartilhar experiências de injustiça? Em uma interlocução com filósofos modernos como Rousseau e Hegel, passando pelo que chama de promessa liberal e pela tradição da teoria crítica, até chegar a autores e autoras ligadas a teorias descoloniais, Filipe Campello defende que as formas de que dispomos para sentir e narrar nossas experiências dependem de um vocabulário que nos antecede enquanto sujeitos e, porta...
