日本哲学会と中国社会科学研究院哲学研究所との共催で、第6回日中哲学フォーラムが9月20日から23日にかけて広州・中山大学にて開催され、加藤泰史教授は「政治と法をめぐるカントとハーバーマス」と題して基調講演を行った。講演ではカントの「理性の公共的使用」の独創的な性格が、「公共」概念の同時代における理解との比較もまじえつつ、明らかにされた。ハーバーマスが「市民的公共性」論で注目した、法治国家の水準と区別された政治的な公共概念の革新性と思想的インパクトの内実が、テクストに則して論じられ、講演後にはカント公共性論の現代的意義に関する問いをふくむ非常に活発な質疑応答がなされた。
On the 22nd of September, Professor Yasushi KATO was invited to deliver a keynote speech in the 6th Sino-Japanese Philosophy Forum, held at Sun Yat-Sen University, Guanzhou, China. This international conference was held in collaboration with the Japanese Philosophical Association and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Professor Kato’s lecture was entitled “Kant and Habermas on Law and Politics”. It focused on Immanuel Kant’s innovative conception of the “public use of reason”, with a particular interest in its historico-conceptual context, wherein Kant’s framing of the “public” appears to be so original and even bizarre to his contemporary intellectuals that they couldn’t entirely understand his terminology. Paying heed to Kant’s novel distinction between the political aspect of the “public” and the legal aspect of the “state”, the lecture shed new light on the critical dimension of his moral/political philosophy. After the lecture, the audience asked several questions including the one about its implication to the contemporary normative discussion of our age.
