Aarhus Kant Week 2018

4 - 8. May

About the Aarhus Kant Week

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).

He is a leading and internationally recognized scholar on Kant’s ethics in particular and Kantian philosophy in general.
