The aim of the workshop is to foster the dialogue and exchange between Kant Studies and Contemporary Analytic Philosophy. \; We thus invite submission from both Kant scholars interested in methods and questions in contemporary epistemology\, and contemporary epistemologists with an broad interest in Kant&rsquo\;s philosophical contributions.
\nResearch topics include\, but are not limited to :
\n&bull\; How do Transcendental Arguments operate? Are they purely epistemic? Are they useful to/ in Contemporary Epistemology?
\n&bull\; How can Kant's theory of Belief\, Opinion\, Knowledge\, et cetera be used in Contemporary Epistemology?
\n&bull\; Can Kant's refection on Knowledge and Cognition be fruitful in a contemporary context\, i.e. if we bracket Kant's transcendental Idealism?
\n&bull\; Do Kant's proofs of the existence of the external world provide interesting methods for Contemporary Epistemology? Are they suspicious from the eyes of Contemporary Epistemology?
\n&bull\; Which merits does transcendental idealism have from the perspective of Contemporary Epistemology?
\n&bull\; Would Kant have had the (implicit) resources to deal with Gettier-like cases? Do such cases constitute a problem from the perspective of a transcendental idealist?
\nAbstracts (max 500 words) should be sent to j.ohlhorst@uni-koeln.de by March 1\, 2019.
\nAbstracts should be ready for double-blind review\, we thus ask to remove any identification detail from the abstract. We kindly ask to send the author&rsquo\;s name\, paper title\, and affiliation in the body of the email. \;
