Program
The XI Multilateral Kant Colloquium on the theme of Enlightenment: Science and Ethics offers a diverse and interdisciplinary program, delving into key aspects of Enlightenment thought. The conference will explore critical topics such as the relationship between Enlightenment and religion. Sessions on law, education, art, and politics will explore how Kant’s philosophy has influenced societal structures. Contemporary issues are also covered, including fake news, conspiracy theories, and the implications of global warming from a Kantian perspective. Special attention is given to gender, race, and the relevance of Enlightenment ideals in Latin America, linking historical concepts to current global challenges, such as cosmopolitanism and irrationality in modern discourse. This rich variety of topics promises to foster deep discussions on how Enlightenment principles continue to influence modern scientific, ethical, and social practices.
