The Aarhus Kant Week wants to encourage a lively and controversial discussion of the most important themes from one of the major philosophers of modern times. At issue is a reassessment of the Kantian model of critical thinking. For the Aarhus Kant Week, an internationally acknowledged philosopher and Kant researcher is invited to present and discuss their recent work in Kantian philosophy. The events of the week include a master class, a public lecture, and an international workshop on core topics from Kant. This year’s guest lecturer is Professor Jens Timmermann (University of St Andrews).

Jens Timmermann is professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of St. Andrews. He is a leading and internationally recognized scholar on Kant’s ethics in particular and Kantian philosophy in general. His books include a comprehensive companion to the Groundwork to the Metaphysics of Morals, and Sittengesetz  und Freiheit
