NORTH AMERICAN KANT SOCIETY. A few news items, and the VNAKS incubator session tomorrow.

 


Dear David McDonald,

Greetings once again from NAKS.  A couple of announcements:

1. NAKS was very sorry to learn of the July 9th passing of Professor Graham Bird, an inspiration and friend to many.  Please see our in memoriam announcement here:  https://northamericankantsociety.com/Announcements/10745698


2. Tomorrow VNAKS continues with our first "Incubator" session. This involves three "poster-style" talks on a single theme.  The presenter gives us their new idea, and then we "incubate" it together (thus the Q&A is ideally longer than the talk itself).  The somewhat daunting theme for tomorrow is "One Precise way in which Schelling or Hegel genuinely improves on Kant's Theoretical Philosophy."  The incubatees are Naomi Fisher (Loyola-Chicago), Anton Kabeshkin (Potsdam), and Jake McNulty (NYU).  The session will be chaired by James Kreines (Claremont-McKenna).  More info here:  https://northamericankantsociety.org/VNAKS


3. We continue to welcome proposals for future VNAKS sessions here:

Please see the June newsletter for guidelines on making a proposal.


4. NAKS is branching out beyond the APA and will soon be accepting submissions for a special roundtable on "What May we Hope? Answers to a Kantian Question" to be held at the annual meeting of the American Society for 18th-Century Studies (ASECS) at the Hilton Baltimore-Inner Harbor on March 31-April 2, 2022.  More information to come, but here is the ASECS homepage:  https://www.asecs.org/

best regards,

Andrew Chignell, President-Secretary
