One of the distinctive Kantian doctrines is that human reason has an interest to possess ultimate explanations that make everything intelligible according to principles. When uninhibited by a critique of reason these interests yield the illusory pretensions to attain theoretical knowledge about the transcendental ideas of reason, such as God, the world-whole, the soul and freedom of the will. But the interests of reason also have a legitimate outcome, the formulation of regulative principles that direct rational inquiry and practical endeavors by prescribing infinite progress towards ultimate goals. The workshop will explore a variety of different positions as well as other aspects of regulative principles in Kant and post-Kantian thought including epistemological, practical and aesthetic aspects and the relations between them.
