CfP: ECPR General Conference 2024 | University College Dublin | Section of the Standing Group on Kantian Political Thought

The ECPR Standing Group on Kantian Political Thought is delighted to announce that its application for a section on “Kant, Science and Politics” as part of the ECPR General Conference (University College Dublin, 12-15 August 2024) has been successful, and 6 panels have been allocated to the Section.

As a result, paper and panel proposals for the section “Kant, Science and Politics” are now invited. Paper proposals may either be submitted as part of one of the five suggested panels below or as part of a new panel on a topic related to that of the section. The aim of this section is to examine Kant’s view of a practical metaphysics (both in ethics and politico-juridical philosophy) that is on the secure path of science; the following are suggested panel topics:

1. The Relation Between Theoretical and Practical Cognitions
2. Kant’s Conception of Moral Theory as a Philosophical Science
3. The “Land of Truth” – The Political Language of Scientific Truth
4. Autonomy and the Moral Law
5. Science and Racism – Kant’s Anthropology and the Need for Reorientation of Kant Scholarship

You may find further details on the section here: Kant, Science and Politics (ecpr.eu).

If you are interested, please send an Expression of Interest with a short outline of your paper (max. 500 words) or, if applicable, of the proposed panel to jakob.rendl@univie.ac.at and s.baiasu@keele.ac.uk by 11 January 2024, or contact us for more information.

All welcome!
