Essay Prize Winner!
This year sees the very first award of the UK Kant Society Essay Prize.
We are delighted to announce that the winning essay is "Nomads, Territory, and the Kantian State", by Anna Milioni, King's College London.
Anna wins £500, and her essay will be published in Kantian Review. Congratulations to Anna!
We also selected two runners up: Facundo Rodriguez from the University of Cambridge, and Mario Schärli, currently a visiting fellow at Princeton University. Congratulations to Facundo and Mario for their excellent papers.
The essay prize is kindly supported by Kantian Review, and is open to authors within five years of the award of their doctoral degree who are either affiliated with a UK Higher Education Institution, or a member of the UK Kant Society. Through the prize, we hope to encourage, reward, and promote early career Kant scholars. We hope you enjoy Anna's paper, and encourage you to explore the work of Facundo and Mario as well.
Look out for a call for papers later this year for the 2025 prize!
Celebrating Kant's 300th Birthday: UKKS Conference (Dublin)
Dublin Kant-Fest, a celebration of the renowned German philosopher Immanuel Kant's 300th birthday, took place in Dublin on Monday, May 20, and Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The event was held at the historic Newman House, located in St. Stephen’s Green, in the heart of Dublin City Centre.
Jointly organized by Lilian Alweiss (Trinity College Dublin), James O’Shea (University College Dublin), John Callanan (King’s College London), and in collaboration with the UK Kant Society, the festival brought together some of the most distinguished Kant scholars from around the world.
The two-day event featured an array of insightful papers from philosophers including Baroness Onora O'Neill, Professor Lucy Allais, Professor Ido Geiger, and Professor Tobias Rosefeldt, among many others. Their contributions spanned a wide range of Kantian themes, stimulating discussions on Kant's enduring legacy.
The success of the Dublin Kant-Fest was made possible through the generous support of several institutions. Funding was gratefully received from the Departments/Schools of Philosophy at UCD, TCD, and KCL, as well as their respective colleges. Additional financial support came from the British Society for the History of Philosophy (BSHP), the German Embassy in Ireland, Cambridge University Press, and the UK Kant Society (UKKS).
