Università Roma Tre

Knowledge and critical evaluation of some theoretical-ethical questions of Kant's philosophy in the history of contemporary European and American philosophy.
The course aims to offer a critical reflection on Kant's categories of world, action, morality interpreted by contemporary thinkers McDowell, Simmel, Nancy.
The lessons start from the role of the concept of the world in McDowell's Kantian exegesis and then critically investigate the distance from the world in Kantian morality according to the Berlin Lessons of Simmel dedicated to Kant and offer critical ideas derived from the particular analysis of the concept of categorical imperative developed by Nancy.
