030108: Theories of Compromise
Thursday 14-16
Start Date: 13.10.2022
Course Type: Seminar (in English)
Recent challenges to liberal democracies, among them affective polarization on issues like migration or the rise of populism, gave rise to a renewed interest in the normative analysis of disagreement. Whereas until recently most normative political theory either aimed for determining a possible consensus on principles of justice, new perspectives take persistent disagreement as an essential feature of political life. One of the essential concepts for the analysis of political disagreement is compromise. The seminar will focus on a wide range of questions and issues regarding the conceptualization of compromise within normative political philosophy. The following questions will play a central role: How should we conceptualize compromises and is it possible to distinguish different kinds of compromises? What are fair compromises and do compromises always have to be fair to be justified? What reasons do we have for compromising – are they of purely pragmatic or could they also be of principled nature? Are there compromises that are absolutely forbidden or do we have to live with the problems of “dirty hands” and complicity in politics and if so, how should we understand them? Finally, it will be asked how the concept might help with understanding current challenges to liberal democracies more specifically.
Literature: A reader with the relevant texts will be provided for the participants.
030085: New Research on Kant’s Practical Philosophy + workshop
Thursday 10-12
Start Date: 13.10.2022
Course Type: Seminar (in English)
This seminar investigates the relevance of Kant’s practical philosophy for current political debates surrounding issues like race and migration. In the beginning, essential passages from key works like the Groundwork, the Doctrine of Virtue and Towards Perpetual Peace will be the object of detailed discussion. With this conceptual foundation, we will then turn to the debate surrounding the role of the concept of race in Kant’s writings. In the third part, we will examine how different parts of Kant’s practical and political philosophy relate to questions concerning immigration and refuge. During a workshop at the end of the seminar, new approaches and positions regarding Kant’s practical philosophy will be discussed with invited speakers.
Literature: A reader with the relevant texts will be provided for the participants.
