Human beings “must be educated for good,” yet those “who must educate... are also human beings” (Kant, Anthropologie in Pragmatischer Hinsicht, 1798). Contrary to popular belief, Kant has realistic viewpoints on the difficulties of moral education. Rather than resort to preaching, it is better to root oneself in an intelligent understanding of human nature. How does this apply today? What objectives and methods should teachers use when teaching moral action and establishing solid moral attitudes in us? To what extent are Kant’s objectives realistic? Sabine Döring, Professor of Practical Philosophy, and Martin Sticker, philosopher specialised in Kant, will discuss Kant and morality in a debate moderated by Political Philosopher Serena Olsaretti. 

Activity organized by Goethe-Institut Barcelona and Thomas Sturm. In cooperation with: Consulate General of Germany / Friends of the Goethe-Institut Spain / Ateneu Barcelonès / UAB ICREA Pro Helvetia.
