To commemorate the year of the 300th anniversary of Immanuel Kant’s birth the Committee of Japanische Kant-Gesellschaft is planning a research forum on the philosophy of peace "Kant and the Pacifism in the 21st Century" (10th November 2024, Tohoku University).
Preliminary to this forum the Japanische Kant-Gesellschaft in cooperation with the Department of Philosophy, Faculty of Humanities at Sophia University and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) invite the interested public to a Lecture "Kant’s political philosophy in times of globalization".
When considering Kant’s philosophy of peace his famous essay "Toward Perpetual Peace" immediately comes to mind. "Toward Perpetual Peace" provides a point of entry for reflections on the present-day significance of Kant’s political philosophy.
The lecture event invites researchers in the field of philosophy as well as everyone interested in a philosophy of peace.
Prof. Dr. Dr. Mathias Lutz-Bachmann (Goethe-University Frankfurt)
