Date: September 20–21, 2012
Venue: University of Antwerp, Belgium

The conference Kantian Ethics and Moral Life aims at bringing together influential authors and young Kant scholars, permitting the participants to engage into a debate concerning the various facets of Kant’s views on how human beings can lead a moral life and on what features are necessary and distinctive for leading a moral life. It invites participants to question and challenge Kant’s thought for its present-day relevance and to discuss Kantian approaches to specific problems in (applied) ethics, but it also welcomes exegetical approaches to Kant’s account of moral life.
