The topic of this workshop is the notion of living beings in Ancient, Early Modern, Modern & Contemporary philosophical debates. The aim of the workshop is to investigate the historical and systematic development of the notion "living being". More precisely, we want to discuss the positions of Aristotle, Descartes, Leibniz, Kant and Hegel and set them in relation to contemporary positions.
Organisers: Sarah Tietz and Christian Steiner
