Conference: Kant and the Possibility of Progress

Immanuel Kant’s defense of core Enlightenment ideals, such as individual autonomy, rational religion, and cosmopolitanism, are interwoven with visions of historical progress. This conference will attempt to clarify the nature and significance of Kant’s accounts of political, religious, moral and theoretical progress and the reactions to Kant’s philosophic legacy in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially in the work of J.G. Herder, J.G Fichte, G.W.F. Hegel, Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger.
