About this episode

What subjects did Kant explore in his works? What questions did he seek to answer? In our sixth episode of Kant Talk 2.0, we delve into Kant’s political philosophy.

We are joined by Dr. Cristóbal Garibay-Petersen, a Kant expert and fellow in European Philosophy at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Together, we unravel Kant’s perspectives on migration, border control, and international relations—topics that resonate deeply in today’s world.

We will also confront the challenging and provocative issue of racism, questioning whether Kant himself held racist beliefs. What insights could he provide on migration and asylum policies? How might he interpret the concept of state borders?

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that sheds light on Kant’s relevance to contemporary political debates!
