Liebe Kolleg*innen und liebe Interessent*innen,  

wir möchten Sie herzlich zu folgendem Author-Meets-Critics-Event am Dienstag, den 27. Oktober 2026, einladen.

Wir diskutieren Kant’s Moral World: Ideas and the Real Use of Pure Practical Reason  (Oxford University Press, 2025) von Jessica Tizzard (Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen).  

 Datum: 27. Oktober 2026 - 10:00 Uhr bis 17:00 Uhr

 Ort: Hörlgasse 6/8, 1090 Wien  

Programm: siehe unten.

Tizzards Buch legt eine systematische Auslegung von Immanuel Kants praktischer Metaphysik vor und untersucht seine umstrittene These, dass es rationale Gründe gibt, die Existenz der unsterblichen Seele und Gottes anzunehmen, da diese die metaphysischen Voraussetzungen für die Verwirklichung einer moralischen Welt darstellen. Es schließt mit einer neuen Interpretation von Kants Begriff des höchsten Gutes.  

Anmeldung: Bitte senden Sie Ihre Anmeldung an: katharina.kraus@univie.ac.at  

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme und auf eine anregende Diskussion.  

Mit herzlichen Grüßen,

Katharina Kraus

Dear Colleagues,

we are pleased to cordially invite you to the following Author-Meets-Critics event on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.

We'll discuss Kant’s Moral World: Ideas and the Real Use of Pure Practical Reason  (Oxford University Press, 2025) by Jessica Tizzard (Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen).

Date: October 27, 2026 - 10:00 AM to 05:30 PM 
Location: Hörlgasse 6/8, 1090 Vienna  

Program: see below

Jessica's book provides a systematic interpretation of Immanuel Kant’s practical metaphysics, building up to his controversial claim that there are rational grounds to affirm the existence of the immortal soul and God because they represent metaphysical conditions for the realization of a moral world. Her book finally offers a new interpretation of Kant's conception of the highest good.  

Registration: Please send your registration to: katharina.kraus@univie.ac.at

We look forward to your participation and to a stimulating discussion.  

With best regards,

Katharina Kraus
