\nKant on Rationality as Controlled Activity \;(keynote talk)
\nDescription:
\nRecently\, there has been a surge of interest in Kant&rsquo\;s conception of rational agency. In the last decade\, interpreters of Kant have shed important light on some of his central concepts of rationality in thinking and action\, ranging from self-consciousness and deliberation to transcendental freedom and autonomy. Additionally\, a wide array of influential positions in contemporary philosophy&mdash\;e.g.\, agentialist approaches to self-knowledge\, or constitutivist strategies in metaethics&mdash\;have claimed a (more or less pure) Kantian descent. Yet not many philosophers have also embarked on a mission to situate Kant&rsquo\;s views in the larger intellectual context of the German Enlightenment\, an era imbued with reflections on human freedom and rationality. This conference aims to address this issue and invites contributions from graduate students on (i) Kant&rsquo\;s conception of rational agency\, (ii) Kant&rsquo\;s relation to his contemporaries and predecessors\, and (iii) the theories of the latter in their own right. \;
