Kant, Neo-Kantianism, and Jewish Thought
A Conference at the University of Tel-Aviv, 17-20 December 2018
This conference will bring together scholars with research foci in any two of the following three areas:
1. The interpretation of Kant, and in particular the unity of Kant’s critical philosophy;
2. The reception of Kantian thought starting with Fichte and Hegel through German Neo-Kantianism, and including its forms of inheritance in Austro-German and Anglophone Analytic Philosophy.
3. The German-Jewish tradition of thought, starting with Mendelssohn and Maimon, through Cohen and Rozenweig, to the present.
The conference is organized jointly by Jim Conant (Leipzig), Eli Friedlander (Tel-Aviv) and Johannes Haag (Potsdam), and it is funded by the German Israeli Fund (GIF), the University of Chciago Center for German Philosophy, the Humboldt Foundation and the FAGI.
