Force and Freedom: Author meets Critics

Abstract

Arthur Ripstein’s book reads Kant’s Doctrine of Right as a systematic contemporary statement in political philosophy, dealing with issues such as political authority, rights, property, and the state. The panel invites papers focusing on the coherence and attractiveness of the positions stated as well as studies that discuss the textual grounds for the positions attributed to Kant. Topics include the normative grounds of innate freedom and of the acquisition of property, the justification of the duties to leave the state of nature and to establish a republican state, and the status of a conception of distributive justice within a Kantian theory.
