General information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issues of Kant\u2019s philosophy of history, presented in his minor works and occasionally in larger ones, did not immediately attract the attention of researchers. However, Kant’s original views on history played an essential role both for his own philosophy and for his contemporaries and philosophical successors. The focus of the summer school is Kant’s concept of enthusiasm. With reference to textual sources, it will explore what Kant and other Enlightenment thinkers called \u2018enthusiasm,\u2019 discuss the role of this and other feelings in the historical process, their relationship to reason in Kant’s philosophy and in the doctrines of his early opponents, and examine the possibilities of Kantian philosophy in interpreting some of the more recent varieties of technological enthusiasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summer school consists of lectures, seminars, and readings. Within the framework of the summer school there will also be a scientific conference, in which participants will give their own presentations on a research topic related to Kant\u2019s philosophy, and discuss it with colleagues from different universities of Russia and the world.

The aim<\/strong> of the school is to to discuss little-studied issues of Kant\u2019s philosophy of history, its reception and influence, such as the concept and phenomenon of enthusiasm, the relationship between reason and feelings in Hamann and Jacobi, the meta-critique of reason, the history of concepts and metaphors in the German Enlightenment, and contemporary techno-enthusiasm in the light of Kant\u2019s philosophy of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
