Kant’s Legal Theory and Global Justice
29th-30th June 2018
Department of Philosophy
University of Bayreuth, Germany
Kant’s legal thought has long been ignored in debates on global justice. Kantian theories tend to focus mainly on Kant’s moral philosophy and on moral concepts such as dignity and autonomy to provide arguments for global justice and other political problems.
Is Kant’s legal theory still pertinent today? How can Kant’s legal philosophy be applied to current global challenges such as climate change, refugees, migration, growing populism and nationalist movements, and threats to international peace?
