\u00a0“… common human reason<\/i> is impelled, not by some need of speculation … but on practical grounds themselves, to go out of its sphere and to take a step into the field of practical philosophy<\/i>, in order to obtain there information and distinct instruction regarding the source of its principle and the correct determination of this principle in comparison with maxims based on need and inclination, so that it may escape from its predicament about claims from both sides and not run the risk of being deprived of all genuine moral principles through the ambiguity into which it easily falls.\u201c\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

KANTIAN RATIONALITY<\/strong>\u00a0IN ETHICS:
\nFOUNDATIONS, APPLICATIONS, CHALLENGES<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

2nd<\/sup> Kantian Rationality Lab Conference,<\/strong><\/p>\n

14-16 May, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kant famously claims that reason is the foundation of morality. This is primarily a statement about the justification of the basic principles of ethics, but it has important implications for applied ethics as well. While Kant views the rational foundations of ethics as immutable \u2013 a contested view \u2013 there is little if any doubt that applications of his theory can develop as societal challenges develop. Some of the topics and problems to which Kant himself applied his theory are still pressing issues today, such as religious conflict, the foundations of democracy and the rule of law, or international politics; yet, they have changed in many ways. In addition, recent Kantian contributions to applied ethics have illustrated how his account can speak to problems that have emerged only more recently, such as questions of global justice in a highly interconnected world, the destruction of the environment, climate change, or problems that new technologies create for the rights of individuals, for instance to privacy. Studies of these problems have shown that a Kantian ethics centered on reason allows for high degrees of domain-specific applications and adaptability.<\/p>\n

However, the possibility of these applications and adaptations raises a number of important questions concerning the prospects and limits of Kantian rationality in ethics. The conference aims to develop fresh perspectives on these issues in four related ways: Firstly, how are we to reconstruct Kant\u2019s account of pure practical reason? What principles, procedures, and other properties shape the account and are crucial for renewing it? Secondly, how do these features guide concrete ethical reasoning in applied domains, both traditional and current ones? Under what conditions can they be employed in order to reason adequately about challenges arising from interactions between humankind and nature, humankind and new technologies, or the individual and society? Thirdly, how can we avoid the all-too human tendency towards what Kant calls \u201crationalizing\u201d (Vern\u00fcnfteln<\/i>), the use of rationality to make up ex post excuses or pseudo-justifications in the service of one\u2019s self-love? Fourthly and finally, what are prospects and limits of renewed versions of Kantian ethical rationality, particularly in applied domains?<\/p>\n
