\nConference Description
\nAt the end of the 18th century\, the concept of idea underwent a fundamental change in meaning\, largely due to its use in Kant&rsquo\;s transcendental philosophy. After &lsquo\;idea&rsquo\; had become a synonym for any content of consciousness (representation) in early modern philosophy\, Kant redefined and restricted its meaning in an independent way. In the \;Transcendental Dialectic \;of the \;Critique of Pure Reason\, ideas are discussed in two ways. First\, Kant refutes an illegitimate &ldquo\;transcendental&rdquo\; use of ideas and\, second\, introduces a legitimate\, &ldquo\;immanent&rdquo\;\, and more specifically &ldquo\;regulative&rdquo\; use by means of which &ldquo\;the \;systematic \;of cognition\, i.e.\, its interconnection based on one principle&rdquo\; (A \;645/B 673)\, is developed. Moreover\, in the \;Teleological Judgment \;of the \;Critique of the Power of Judgment\, Kant takes up again the concept of a &ldquo\;natural purpose&rdquo\; as an &ldquo\;idea of a whole&rdquo\; (KU AA V\, 373)\, which serves as a regulative-heuristic concept. From the regulative use of ideas Kant distinguishes the practical use\, which\, in contrast\, is objectively valid insofar as with them reason really brings forth what its concept contains (A 328/B 384&ndash\;5). Accordingly\, if what was originally conceived is realized through practical action\, the practical idea gains objective validity by virtue of the realization of an action. These and other different concepts of idea (such as postulates\, aesthetic\, political\, religious\, and architectonic ideas) are spread throughout Kant&rsquo\;s works\, including smaller writings\, such as \;Idea for a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose \;(1784)\, \;What Does it Mean to Orient Oneself in Thinking? \;(1786)\, \;The Conflict of the Faculties \;(1798) etc.
\nAims
\nThe online workshop aims at providing a forum for intense discussion of the different roles and the value of ideas in Kant&rsquo\;s critical period. It will consist of three sections\, each led by a keynote speaker.
