Graduate Common Room (Weeks 1-3) Monday 11-12:30; (Weeks 4-8) Monday 2:30-4 In Michaelmas 2015 the Kant Reading Group will focus on some of Kant's shorter writings: 'An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?' and 'What does it mean to orient oneself in thinking?' We will discuss issues arising from these texts, such as Kant's position within the 'Age of Enlightenment', the role of critical thinking in his conception of reason, and possible political dimensions of these aspects of his thought. Interested undergraduates, graduates, researchers and faculty members are all welcome!
