Kant&rsquo\;s 1793 essay &ldquo\;On the common saying: that may be correct in theory\, but it is of no use in practice&rdquo\; articulated\, and gave further impetus to\, a debate about the relationship between theory and practice. This debate centered on the following question: Can the \;a priori \;norms and principles of practical reason determine\, and be translated into\, concrete political practice\; or is there a wide gulf between theory and practice\, a gulf that can be bridged only by custom\, tradition\, and accumulated experience? This workshop will examine the accounts of the relationship between theory and practice offered by German philosophers writing between Kant and Hegel. We are especially interested in papers that focus on lesser-known figures such as Gentz\, Mö\;ser\, Rehberg\, and the German Romantics\, among others. We are also interested in papers focused on well-known figures such as Kant\, Fichte\, Schelling\, and Hegel. Papers may also consider whether these historical debates can help illuminate\, or be illuminated by\, contemporary debates in political philosophy (e.g.\, the debate about &lsquo\;ideal&rsquo\; and &lsquo\;non-ideal&rsquo\; theory).
