Workshop on Practical Philosophy: 'Right and Morality'

Friday 6 April 2018, 9.00AM to 7 April 5.40pm

Speakers: 

David James, Michael Nance, Timothy Quinn, James Clarke, Douglas Moggach, Carsten Fogh Nielsen, Nedim Nomer, Gabriel Gottlieb, Charlotte Baumann, Guido Kreis

This workshop will explore an issue that was central to the attempt to develop a Kantian approach to the philosophy of right—namely, that of whether the fundamental concepts and principles of right (or “law”—Recht) are derivable from, and hence dependent upon, the fundamental concepts and principles of morality as conceived of by Kant. The workshop will consider the work of those philosophers (e.g., Hufeland, Schmid) who sought to derive right from morality as well as the work of those philosophers (e.g., Maimon, Erhard) who maintained that right is in some sense independent of morality. Attention will be paid to the way in which the views of the early post-Kantians on this issue prefigure contemporary positions in legal theory.
