Center
Recent years have seen a new wave of interesting work on post-Kantian philosophy, overcoming various dividing lines that have limited our perspective. The Potsdam Center for Post-Kantian Philosophy offers a new home to this critical engagement with the post-Kantian tradition in all of its diversity and complexity. It seeks to develop its insights and its limitations in relation to the pressing epistemic, social, political and ecological concerns of our time. To that end, the Center hosts a variety of conferences, workshops and lecture series and brings together a diverse group of international research fellows in Potsdam every year, working on individual and collaborative projects and elaborating what we can know, shall do, may hope.
