Tagung »Grounding the Space of Reasons – The Question of First Principles in German Idealism and Today«

 

The conference Grounding the Space of Reasons revives the question of a first principle of reason as put forward in early Classical German philosophy. This question emerged as a key desideratum for a system of knowledge around 1800, but its systematic difficulties lead to a pluralization of approaches within post-Kantian philosophy and ultimately to a critique of the idea of a first principle. The fruitful renaissance that German Idealism has experienced in Anglophone philosophy in recent decades is testimony to the lively debate regarding the autonomy and limits of the space of reasons. How can logical space itself be justified? Does autonomous reason need such grounding at all? In addressing these questions, the conference Grounding the Space of Reasons focuses on the tension between the immanent normativity of logical space, irreducible to non-normative grounds, and the demand for an ultimate justification, which arguably still haunts this contemporary conception of reason.
