A Colloquium by Ina Goy (Tübingen)

.

.

This colloquium aims at investigating Kant’s account of moral psychology, especially the feelings of respect and love in the Groundwork, Kant’s second Critique, and the Doctrine of Virtue. Beside the historical background and the development of a theory of moral feeling in Kant’s writings, we will examine fundamental systematic features of respect and love in Kant’s approach: we will discuss their status as a priori principles (as opposed to empirical principles) and investigate their emotional nature as feelings. We will study the ethical functions of respect and love, and determine their relationship to each other, to the practical law, and to moral duties.

The colloquium takes place from Monday, May 28, 2012, until Thursday, May 31, 2012, daily from 10–12 am, 2–6 pm, at Uppsala Universitet, Engelska Parken, Humanistiskt Centrum, Thunbergsvägen 3H, 751 26 Uppsala, Sweden. Course materials should be prepared in advance. Credit points are available on graduate level, however, all undergraduates, post-docs, and academic colleagues are welcome to participate (http://people.su.se/~saag5774/national). Students who wish to qualify for credit points must participate in a final exam on Friday, June 1, 10–12 am. Pre-registration is recommended. Please contact: Dr. Ina Goy ina.goy@uni-tuebingen.de and Dr. Marcel Quarfood marcel.quarfood@filosofi.uu.se.
