Abstract

The panel "Constructing Roles and Institutions” will focus on how human activity can “construct” intelligible realities and how Kant’s Moral and political thought can help us better understand these practical phenomena. One clear example is the institution of private property, but the panel will also explore other domains where one can speak of "mine", such as status relationships, personal relationships and roles that form the building blocks of institutions and organisations. The panel includes contributions focusing on Kantian exegesis, exploring debates within contemporary Kantian philosophy (or both) and critical approaches to Kantian constructivism.
