The sixth annual St Andrews/Stirling Kant Reading Party will be dedicated to Kant &\; Adam Smith and \;take place at Burn House in Angus on 29 July through 1 August 2013. The location of the Reading \;Party\, Burn House\, is approximately one hour away from St Andrews and offers excellent \;opportunities for hiking\, and many other leisure activities. The theme of the reading party will be \;honor and respect in Kant and Smith. We will examine how Kant and Smith understand respect for the \;law/ respect for general rules\, and explore links between their treatment of respect and their views on \;honor. In doing so we will discuss texts from Smith&rsquo\;s Theory of Moral Sentiments\, Kant&rsquo\;s Second \;Critique\, The Metaphysics of Morals\, and Lectures on Ethics.
\nPostgraduate students are invited to submit abstracts of not more than 500 words for talks related to \;our theme. The deadline for the call for papers is the 1st of June. The abstracts should be prepared \;for blind review and sent to Martin Sticker \;ms752@st-andrews.ac.uk.
If you have any questions\, please get in touch with Leonard Randall \;lr327@st-andrews.ac.uk\, who is \;the main organizer of this event.
