What we do
The project is sponsored by the DAAD and will consist of two international workshops to be held in Berlin and in Padua in 2023.
The workshops will feature presentations of students, post-docs and scholars from the research groups in Classical German Philosophy at the FU Berlin and at the University of Padua and of international young researchers.
Each workshop will be opened by a keynote lecture by a leading scholar in the field.
A publication of the workshop proceedings is programmed for 2024.

What it is about
The project sets to investigate the notion and understanding of objectivity in view of the inevitably situated standpoint of human cognition.
Our main question is: is it possible to develop a philosophical conception of reality that acknowledges the reality-shaping activity of (knowing) subjects, without reducing reality to a mere subjective construct? Can a dimension of genuine resistance and alterity of objects be thought and conceptualised?
We use a combination of historical and systematic approach to build the bridge between traditions that have this question at their core: Classical German Philosophy, feminist epistemology and posthuman thought.
