Immanuel Kant

Speaker:  Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra (Oriel College, Oxford)

Title: 'Kant on the Best Possible World' 

Abstract: 

In his Attempt at some Reflections on Optimism (1759) Kant argues that, among all possible worlds, there is one and only one that is the best. In my paper I analyse and discuss Kant's arguments.
