DESCRIPTION:<p><em>For both Kant and Hegel\, a human will is fully free only if it appropriately realizes its capacity of practical rationality.&nbsp\; For both philosophers\, becoming free requires acts of self-constitution.&nbsp\; But by what means is the self-constitution of a free will possible? &nbsp\;Kant grants that institutions such as education can serve as catalysts to activate what he refers to as our &ldquo\;moral compass.&rdquo\;&nbsp\; Kant does not however hold that experience or education has a part to play in shaping the compass itself.&nbsp\; The inner compass is a law of pure practical reason\; its nature is thus not dependent upon contingent historical conditions or institutions.&nbsp\; In contrast\, Hegel&rsquo\;s view seems to be that social institutions do more than merely assist the activation of practical reason&rsquo\;s norms or laws\; they in addition play a role in the very constitution of those laws (and thus in the constitution of practical reason itself).&nbsp\; This conference explores Kantian and Hegelian perspectives on the constitution of human freedom.</em><br><br> Organizers Sally Sedgwick (UIC) &nbsp\; Thomas Khurana (Goethe University)</p>
