What subjects did Kant explore in his works, and what questions did he seek to answer? In the fifth episode of Kant Talk 2.0, we delve into Kant’s ideas on freedom and autonomy.
We are joined by Prof. Dieter Schönecker, a Kant expert from the University of Siegen in Germany, to discuss fundamental questions such as: Can true freedom exist in a world governed by natural laws? Is absolute freedom possible, or is it inherently limited? What does it mean to be free according to Kant, and how is autonomy connected to moral laws and self-determination? Additionally, we will examine Kant’s perspective on freedom of speech, considering whether he might be regarded as an opponent of today’s "cancel culture".
Tune in to uncover the complexities of Kant’s philosophy and its relevance to contemporary debates about freedom and autonomy!
