Kant, Maria von Herbert, and Early Modern Women Philosophers

Third Carinthian Workshop on Topics in Early Modern Philosophy to Kant

Fecha:‌

21 – 22/10/2016‌

Lugar:

Institute of Philosophy, University of Klagenfurt K 0.01 (Stiftungssall, Servicegebäude)

Universitätsstr. 65-67

Klagenfurt 9020

Austria

Keynote speakers:

Martha Bolton (Rutgers University), Rae Langton (Cambridge University), Ursula Renz (University of Klagenfurt), Bernhard Ritter (University of Klagenfurt)

The Third Carinthian EMP-Kant Workshop focusses on the role of women philosophers in the early modern period until Kant, thereby drawing attention to the Herbert circle in Klagenfurt, where, as K. L. Fernow once wrote enthusiastically to Reinhold, also the women were 'Selbstdenkerinnen', i.e., autonomous thinkers. The women Fernow was referring to were the von Dreer sisters and Maria von Herbert (1769-1803) who today is known for a singular exchange of letters with Immanuel Kant. It is only until relatively recently that her letters have inspired a lively philosophical debate in the English-written literature on Kant, while German-speaking scholars have been focussing on the role of the Herbert circle in the history of Enlightenment. The Third Carinthian Workshop wishes to encourage a philosophical exchange centred on the figure of Maria von Herbert, but it also welcomes submissions on other women philosophers of the period.

Lugar:

Universität Siegen‌

Keynote speakers:

Prof. Rachel Zuckert, Ph.D.(Northwestern University) und Prof. Dr. Dieter Schönecker (Universität Siegen)

Der Workshop konzentriert sich auf § 9 der "Kritik der Urteilskraft", in dem Kant das freie und harmonische Spiel der Erkenntnisvermögen einführt. Als ,Schlüssel’ zur "Analytik des Schönen" ist dieser Paragraph von zentraler Bedeutung für ein profundes Verständnis der Kantischen Ästhetik.

Die Kurse und Tagungen des ZetKIK zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass es keine Vorträge oder Präsentationen gibt. Vielmehr werden wir den Kantischen Text gemeinsam sehr genau (kommentarisch) lesen und diskutieren.

CFP:

Der Kurs richtet sich an fortgeschrittene Studierende, Doktoranden sowie Postdocs. Bewerbungen aus dem Ausland sind willkommen. Die Tagungssprache ist Englisch, die Fähigkeit, Kants Texte im deutschen Original zu lesen, wird allerdings vorausgesetzt.

Alle Interessierten sind herzlich eingeladen, Bewerbungen inkl. CV und Empfehlungsschreiben bitte an dieter.schoenecker@uni-siegen.de zu senden.

Keynote speakers:

Manfred Baum (University of Wuppertal), Corey W. Dyck (University of Western Ontario), Giuseppe Motta (Karl-Franzens-University Graz), Alexandra Newton (University of Illinois)

For various reasons, many commentators tend to overlook the A-Deduction in favor of the 1787 edition. In contrast to that trend, this conference aims to interpret and assess Kant’s A-Deduction on its own terms and shed light on important insights that are pivotal to the Critique of Pure Reason as a whole.

The conference aims at stimulating fruitful exchanges between established scholars, young researchers, and PhD students.

CFP:

Submission Deadline: September 15, 2016‌

The Institute of Philosophy at the University of Leuven invites submissions for a conference dedicated to Kant’s A-Deduction. Papers focusing on any aspect of the A-Deduction are welcome. Themes of papers may include, but are not limited to: the argumentative structure of the A-Deduction, key concepts of the A-Deduction, the roles of the various faculties, the historical context of the A-Deduction (especially in view of Kant’s relationship to his contemporaries), and the fate of the A- Deduction (e.g. its reappraisal in the Opus postumum).

Presentation time will be 25 minutes + 15 minutes for discussion. Abstracts (between 400 and 800 words) should be sent in MSWord as attachment to:‌

a-deduction@kuleuven.be

Abstracts have to be prepared for double-blind review by removing any identification details. The author’s name, paper title, institutional position and affiliation, as well as contact information should be included in the body of the e-mail.

Notification of acceptance by September 30, 2016.

The workshop is funded by the University of Tübingen Excellence Initiative.

In recent years there has been much debate about how and whether Hegel’s absolute idealism is either a radicalization or reversal of Kant’s transcendental idealism. At the centre of this debate are questions concerning the relation of logical space to reality, mind’s place in nature, the nature of conceptual content and the bounds of intelligibility. The workshop aims to explore these topics through the comparison of Kant’s and Hegel’s models of human and divine intellect.

The workshop will combine keynote lectures and graduate student presentations.

We would like to invite PhD students to send an abstract of 500 words.

Deadline: 15/09/2016 tuebingen.workshop@gmail.com

We will notify you by 1st of October. If the paper is accepted, the full text deadline (3000 words) will be the 15th of January 2017.

The purpose of this conference is to analyze the various conceptions of experience at play in eighteenth-century German philosophy between Leibniz's death in 1716 and Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. During this period, the classical Aristotelian definition of experience as cognition of singulars – to some extent still present in Wolff – became confronted with the Baconian and Newtonian accounts of empirical knowledge. While most philosophers acknowledged the fundamental role of experience, they tried to accomodate the modern notions of experience to a view of cognition and science influenced by Wolffian metaphysics. The question as to the contribution of foundational metaphysical principles and empirical data to scientific knowledge was much discussed, as was the relationship between inner and outer experience, experience and thought, experience and judgment, experience and facts, experience and perception, experience and experiment, and perception and apperception. Challenging the historiographical opposition between empiricism and rationalism, the conference aims to explore the often ambivalent or fluid conceptions of experience at work in these debates, as well their influence on disciplines such as psychology and aesthetics.

Kant refers to freedom as the "keystone" or the "cardinal point" of his entire philosophy. Kant is perhaps chiefly concerned with the freedom of will that we take ourselves to have as moral agents whose choices merit praise or blame. However, freedom (as well as the closely related idea of "spontaneity") plays a central role in other central areas of Kant's philosophy as well: in his epistemology, he holds that that we freely judge the natural world in response to sensible input; and his aesthetics famously centres around the notion of a "free play" of imagination and intellect. This colloquium brings together Kant scholars that have explored these different faces of Kantian freedom in their work, and thus it hopes to shed light on how the many different (metaphysical, ethical, epistemological, and aesthetic) dimensions of Kantian freedom are to be understood in their own right and in relation to each other.

The course seeks to show how a proper understanding of the structure of the B Deduction—the philosophical lynchpin of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason—reveals its aim to be one of making sense of our capacities for sensibility and understanding in the light of each other: each is shown to depend on its relation to the other to be the sort of faculty that it is in a finite rational being.

In his Critique of Pure Reason, Kant established a groundbreaking new position which he called “Transcendental Idealism”. One of the main aims of the transcendental arguments contained in the Critique is a successful refutation of modern forms of scepticism. The international workshop wants to shed light on transcendental idealism and its anti-sceptical potential from new perspectives.

The Department of Philosophy, in collaboration with CVSP and the Goethe Institute, will host the first international conference in Lebanon on the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. The conference will bring together eminent scholars from Europe, United States and the region to speak on one of four themes: Kant and the Philosophy of Action, Kant and the Philosophy of Science, Kant and the Philosophy of Religion, or the reception of Kant’s philosophy in the Middle East. These themes have been chosen to allow for papers on the usual areas in Kant scholarship, while also encouraging those that relate Kant’s philosophy to contemporary work. In particular, the inclusion of a session on the reception of Kant’s philosophy in the Middle East is intended to foster exchange between scholars of the region and our international guests. A fourth day (May 28th) will be devoted to an excursion to one or more of the many historical sites in Lebanon

for participants who would like to attend.

CFP:

Deadline: 1/03/2017

We are now inviting abstracts of no more than 500 words for papers of 30 minutes in length on any of the themes above. The deadline for submissions is March 1st.

Please send abstracts to: kantataub@gmail.com.

The conference examines the impact of a series of key debates on the development of German Enlightenment philosophy from Wolff to Kant. It discusses the ways in which these controversies both responded to problems inherited from the seventeenth century and contributed to the formation of a distinctive German philosophical discourse. Special attention is paid to the ‘speculative philosophy class’ of the Berlin Academy, which through its prize essay contests both substantially enhanced the significance of ongoing controversies and initiated new debates, often taking its cue from the philosophical positions of Leibniz, Wolff, the British empiricists, Newton, and Kant. The conference papers cover both theoretical approaches to the art of debating and specific debates in the fields of metaphysics, the philosophy of science, psychology, aesthetics, and epistemology. They will address the following questions: What was the debates’ impact on eighteenth-century German philosophy? What role did the enlightened public play in these controversies? In the end, did the controversies leave the key questions open or succeeded in reaching some agreement? To what extent was the German Enlightenment driven by antagonism – in particular, can we detect a shift from agonistic arguments in the first half of the century to a more conciliatory debate mood in the second half?

Dealing with almost all areas of research, including metaphysics, epistemology, the natural sciences, mathematics, ethics, aesthetics, theology, history, anthropology, and politics, Kant’s works had a great impact on developments within and outside philosophy in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, certain themes, such as Kant’s philosophy of religion or his pre-critical works, are rather seldom discussed outside of specialized workshops. The relationship between the various aspects of Kant’s philosophy likewise receives little attention. We believe that researchers working on certain elements of Kant’s thought could profit greatly from exchanges with researchers working within a different tradition or on different topics. It

is the aim of the Leuven Kant Conference to enhance such exchanges.

Is mathematics only about proof? In search for its foundation, mathematics was often conceived as a hierarchic and uniform edifice of ideas. A praxeological view reverses this image. It considers a plurality of mathematical practices from heuristics and problem solving to communication. It reveals a historic and pragmatic diversity of approaches and media of mathematical thinking. This international conference is conceived as a contribution to a praxeological philosophy of mathematics. It focuses on practices that include visualization and intuition.

Kant on Sex, Love and Friendship

The basic aim of the conference is to understand how sex, love and friendship function in Kant’s philosophy, both individually and in conjunction with each other. While research on these issues has escalated in recent years, we still lack an inclusive outlook on the questions surrounding the concept of love, broadly conceived, in Kant. Even though Kant’s philosophy has been under vivid discussion for over 200 years, to our knowledge, nothing like ‘Kant on Sex, Love and Friendship’ has ever been organised.

The concepts of sex, love and friendship are more pertinent to Kant than often thought. They play an integral role in his conception of human life. The three notions are closely interrelated, and to an extent, overlapping. In different parts of his philosophy, Kant acknowledges that from the crudest impulses of nature to the highest ideals of virtue and moral happiness, the phenomenon of love permeates human existence. In particular, an understanding of how sex, love and friendship function in Kant’s practical philosophy is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of his ethical project.

The conference brings together a group of scholars and philosophers working on these topics to present their research, exchange and develop ideas, and to establish points of contact between their individual research approaches.

It is our pleasure to invite you to the 10th edition of the St Andrews Kant Reading Party. The event will take place between the 24th and the 27th of July 2017, at the Burn House in Edzell (http://theburn.goodenough.ac.uk/). The title of this year’s edition is ‘Kant and Sidgwick’, and the main goal will be to investigate the philosophical relations between Kant's ethics and the utilitarian philosophy of Henry Sidgwick, with a special focus on the nature of morality and the good.

It is commonly argued that Kantian ethics and Utilitarianism (whose most rigorous formulation is arguably to be found in the work of Henry Sidgwick) are incompatible and even opposed to each other. However, it has also been argued that the two views are actually quite similar, both in form and in upshot, and some philosophers have gone as far as to claim (i) that they are largely compatible and/or (ii) that by combining the two an even stronger ethical system could be developed. The debate over the relation between Kantian ethics and utilitarian philosophy is still alive and well, waiting for new insights and new creative contributions.

This year there will be up to six discussion sessions (all texts will be made available), as well as up to four paper sessions (see CFA below).

Participation Fees:

Staff members: £150; Students: £75

The fee covers accommodation and full board at the Burn House, as well as transportation from St Andrews to the Burn House and back.

Invited speakers will be waived the entire participation fee (see CFA below).

If you would like to attend but child care duties make it difficult, please get in contact with Lucas Sierra Vélez (lsv2@st-andrews.ac.uk). We will do our best to meet your requests, and we hope to be able to provide financial support.

Registration:

Since the number of places is limited, the registration process is divided in two steps: 1) Informal registration: send an e-mail

including name, affiliation, and a brief expression of interest to Lucas Sierra Vélez (lsv2@st-andrews.ac.uk) by the 16th of June.

2) Payment: selected participants will be given instructions on how to make the online fee payment.

CFP:

Postgraduate students are invited to send anonymised abstracts of no longer than 750 words, as well as a separate cover sheet including name, position, institutional affiliation, and e-mail address to Kristina Kersa (kk203@st-andrews.ac.uk) by the 16th of June. Abstracts will be selected by blind review, and applicants will be notified by the 30th of June.

Papers should be suitable for a presentation of 40 minutes, and should attempt to clarify the relations between Kant’s ethics and Sidgwick’s Utilitarianism, or at least between Kantian ethics and Utilitarianism more generally. Preference will be given to papers addressing topics from the following list:

The nature of action, practical reason and morality; The nature of human agency and human motivation; The relation between maxims/motives/intentions and consequences; The Kantian idea of ‘practical love’ and its relation to utilitarian benevolence; The moral standing of non-human animals; The axiological, practical and moral significance of happiness; The nature of happiness; The meaning and varieties of ‘hedonism’; The Kantian highest good and its relation to the idea of a maximally happy world; The idea of ‘deserving happiness’; The dualism of practical reason (morality vs egoism); The question of the ultimate/supreme good; The meaning of the term ‘good’ and the varieties of goodness; The notions of intrinsic value and unconditional value; The concepts of ‘dignity’ and ‘respect’; The distinction between ‘harming someone’ and ‘wronging someone’; Ideal theory vs non-ideal theory; Self-regarding and other-regarding duties.

UK Kant Society - 2017 Annual Conference Kant and Contemporary Philosophy

It goes without saying that Kant’s writings had an enormous impact on the debates of his time. To what extent, however, can Kant’s thought still contribute to contemporary, 21st century philosophical discussions? Are his views no longer relevant, or does Kant still offer viable and defensible positions considered from a present-day point of view? Are there certain debates in contemporary philosophy where Kant’s influence is particularly noticeable? To what degree do current ‘Kantian’ approaches to problems in metaphysics, ethics, etc. represent Kant’s own position? This conference aims to explore and foster debate on the above and related questions, though papers on all themes related to Kant’s philosophy are welcome.

CFP:

Deadline: 01/06/2017

Papers are invited from anyone interested in any aspect of Kant's philosophy, though submissions dealing specifically with the conference theme are encouraged. If you are interested in giving a presentation, please submit an abstract of 800-1000 words (prepared for blind review) to Michael Walschots at: ukks2017@gmail.com, and fill out the following online form:

"Rights and Duties in Kantian Political and Legal Philosophy"

Panel Chairs: Alyssa R. Bernstein (Ohio University) and Christoph Hanisch (Ohio University)

Section: “Kant on Political Change” (organized by the ECPR Kantian Standing Group) Section Chairs: Sorin Baiasu (Keele University) and Howard Williams (Aberystwyth University)

The recent wave of impressive Kant scholarship in political and legal philosophy has brought to the forefront a number of foundational issues, such as the nature of rights and the problem of political authority. We suggest discussing the current state of these debates by emphasizing a couple of specific questions: What exactly is the normative status of provisional rights in Kant’s pre-institutional state of nature? Is the notion of such rights coherent? If so, what are the implications of the normativity of such (natural?) rights for their ‘juridified siblings’ in the rightful condition? How should collective will-formation processes be constrained by these rights? In particular, what do these rights mean for the self-understanding of citizens in democratic republics and for their relationship to the modern state’s authority? Are Kant-inspired accounts of civil disobedience and political protest theoretically convincing and practically viable?

In relation to jurisprudence and philosophy of law, and following Jeremy Waldron et al.’s lead, we are interested in investigating the question to what extent a Kantian framework is sympathetic to the sovereignty of democratic legislation or whether it rather supports strong judicial review. Hence, panel contributions attempting to systematize Kant’s jurisprudence in the light of contemporary legal philosophies (positivism, natural rights,…) are very much welcome. More generally, we seek contributions that reflect on the relationship between pre-institutional and legal rights that are sensitive to the intricacies that come with the contrast between ideal and non- ideal theorizing.
