IMMANUEL KANT, 300 YEARS FROM NOW

The Colloquium Philosophy & Global Affairs is happy to welcome any and all interested to attend (in person) the international Conference: IMMANUEL KANT, 300 YEARS FROM NOW, October 17-19, 2024, Department of Political and Social Sciences, University of Catania, Via Gravina 12, Catania 
In the context of Kant’s tercentennial (1724-2024) celebrations, this international conference will focus on those Kantian resources that may help us to meet the enormous intellectual and practical challenges before us: phenomena such as democratic backsliding, populism, money-driven oligarchic degeneration of liberal democracy, climate change, general political turmoil, and conflicts with a clear potential to degenerate into global war. The conference includes 8 invited keynote speakers and 80 presentations from advanced and younger scholars worldwide who were selected through a call for papers. No registration is required to attend the conference.
