Possible topics include but are not limited to; Kant and the French revolution, Kant and the political dimensions of German Idealism, Kant's role in the development of Romanticism, Nietzsche versus Kant, the political implications of Neo-Kantianism, the role of Kant's political thought in German philosophy early in the twentieth century via Lebensphilosophie, phenomenology or fundamental ontology.
