Baiasu, Sorin
The ECPR Standing Group on Kantian Political Thought is delighted to announce that its application for a section on “Kantian Philosophy in the Age of Technology” (co-chaired by Christoph Hanisch and myself), as part of the ECPR General Conference (Jagiellonian University, Krakow, 8-11 September 2026) has been successful, and 8 panels have been allocated to the Section.
As a result, paper and panel proposals for the section “Kantian Philosophy in the Age of Technology” are now being invited. Paper proposals may be submitted individually or together with other 2-4 papers, as part of a panel proposal, on a theme related to that of the section.
The following are suggested panel topics, but this is an open list:
1. Kant, artificial intelligence, and political agency;
2. The Moral Law and developments in robotics;
3. Health, autonomy and privacy in the age of technology;
4. Kantian approaches to climate change and environmental disasters;
5. Cosmopolitanism, space exploration and colonisation;
6. Kantian ethics and policy in a time of information disorder;
7. Kant, just war theory and hybrid wars;
8. The social contract in the digital age.
