Call for Papers for the Special Issue "Kant’s 300th Anniversary:
The Contemporary Horizon of Kant’s Ethics"
Guest editor: Samuel Kahn
I. Introduction
Established in 1971, the National Taiwan University Philosophical Review is a peer-reviewed journal published by the Department of Philosophy at National Taiwan University. We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a forthcoming special issue titled "Kant’s 300th Anniversary: The Contemporary Horizon of Kant’s Ethics." This issue builds on revised papers presented at the international conference hosted at NTU in October 2024 and seeks to examine how Kant’s moral philosophy continues to inform, challenge, and enrich contemporary ethical discourse.
We invite submissions that critically engage with Kant’s ethics in dialogue with current philosophical debates, as well as those that assess its relevance to pressing moral, social, or political concerns. Our goal is not only to advance scholarly understanding of Kant’s ethical thought, but also to highlight its broader significance and accessibility to the wider public
