Kant's Grounded Cosmopolitanism

Kant's Grounded Cosmopolitanism

Two kinds of cosmopolitan vision are typically associated with Kant's practical philosophy: on the one hand, the ideal of a universal moral community of rational agents who constitute a 'kingdom of ends' qua shared humanity. On the other hand, the ideal of a distinctly political community of 'world citizens' who share membership in some kind of global polity. Kant's Grounded Cosmopolitanism introduces a novel account of Kant's global thinking, one that has hitherto been largely overlooked: a grounded cosmopolitanism concerned with spelling out the normative implications of the fact that a plurality of corporeal agents concurrently inhabit the earth's spherical surface. It is neither concerned with a community of shared humanity in the abstract, nor of shared citizenship, but with a 'disjunctive' community of earth dwellers, that is, embodied agents in direct physical confrontation with each other. Kant's grounded cosmopolitanism as laid out in the Doctrine of Right frames the question how individuals relate to one another globally by virtue of concurrent existence and derives from this a specific set of constraints on cross-border interactions.

Kant's Will at the Crossroads

What happens when human beings fail to do as reason bids? This book is an attempt to address this age-old question within Kant's mature practical philosophy, i.e. the practical philosophy that emerged with the watershed discovery of autonomy in the mid-1780s. As always, Kant is good for a surprise. There is, it is argued, not one answer but two: He advocates Socratic intellectualism in the realm of prudence whilst defending an anti-intellectualist or volitional account of immoral action. This 'hybrid' theory of practical failure is more than a philosophical curiosity. There are ramifications for Kant's theory of practical reason as a whole. In particular, the hybrid account emphasizes the di...

The idea of sovereignty and the debates that surround it are not merely of historical, academic, or legal interest: they are also potent, vibrant issues and as current and relevant as today's front page news in the United States and in other Western democracies. In the post- 9/11 United States, the growth of the national security state has resulted in a growing struggle to maintain the legal and ethical boundaries surrounding executive authority, boundaries that help to define and protect democratic governance. These post-9/11 developments and their effect on the scope of presidential power present hard questions and are fueling today's intense debates among political leaders, citizens, cons...

Baumgarten’s Legacy in Kant’s Ethics

Baumgarten’s Legacy in Kant’s Ethics

This book offers the first substantial account of Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten’s significant influence on Kant’s ethics. Arguing that Baumgarten’s impact is more extensive and profound than previously thought, the book provides a novel interpretation of the formation of Kant’s ethical framework. Scholars have made use of Baumgarten’s Ethica philosophica (1740) to elucidate Kant’s complex terminology and to provide a background against which to understand Kant’s nuanced relationship to his predecessors. To date, however, no English book explores the specific influence of Baumgarten’s Ethica on Kant. This book comments on passages from the Ethica and contrasts them with Kantâ€...

The Court of Reason

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...

Nach der Kulturgeschichte

Das absehbare Ende des kulturgeschichtlichen Paradigmas in den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften eröffnet erneut die Chance auf substanzielle methodologische Debatten auch in der deutschen Literaturwissenschaft. Der Band versammelt mediävistische und neuphilologische Beiträge, die ideen- und sozialgeschichtliche Perspektiven auf die Zeit zwischen dem 12. und dem 21. Jahrhundert dergestalt zu werfen versuchen, dass eine behutsame Vermittlung zwischen Ideen und Realien als je unterschiedenen und doch sich ergänzenden Kontexten entwickelt werden kann. Dabei wird in 10 Sektionen je ein sozialgeschichtlicher Beitrag durch einen ideengeschichtlichen Beitrag sekundiert, um mögliche Überschneidungen, aber auch durch die andere Perspektive jeweils zu füllende Leerstellen am einzelnen literarischen Text zu ermitteln. Bewusst versammelt der Band Beiträge zur älteren und zur neueren deutschen Philologie, um die historischen Veränderungen der Korrelation von Ideen und Realien als Kontexten der Literatur zu skizzieren. Der hier vorgelegte Versuch einer post-kulturalistischen Methodendebatten stellt nur einen ersten Schritt dar, der in der Folge weiterentwickelt werden soll.

Natur und Freiheit

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 ...

Rechtsmaschinen

Das "Recht ex machina" ist ein Traum, den die Menschheit seit langem träumt. Derartige Apparate sind bislang freilich Utopie geblieben. Inzwischen sind aber lernfähige Algorithmen imstande, logische Schlüsse zu ziehen und Argumente auf ihre Stichhaltigkeit zu überprüfen. Hat die Digitalisierung unsere Vorstellungen über die Rechtsanwendung schon verändert, ohne dass wir es bemerkt haben?"Digitalisierung" lautet die Devise, und zwar nicht nur in Politik, Wirtschaft oder Bildung, sondern auch in der Jurisprudenz. Lernfähige Algorithmen und autonome Systeme beginnen heute Funktionen zu übernehmen, die traditionell dem Menschen vorbehalten waren. Wir pflegen von "künstlicher Intelligen...
