This conference is concerned with metametaphysical topics as they were addressed by Kant and the various German Idealist philosophers who followed him. Questions concerning the subject-matter, methodology, epistemology, and semantics of metaphysics are the subject of renewed interest from contemporary philosophers. There is also a fairly widespread willingness to engage with historical material, but despite this, the contributions of Classical German Philosophy have tended to go under-appreciated in contemporary work on metametaphysics. This conference aims to consider anew the distinctive metametaphysical positions developed by the German Idealists, as well as to see what they have to offer contemporary debates in this area.
