Clausewitz, Kant, and the Capacity to Resist
Guest lecture by Professor Howard Caygill
Monday 28th January 2013, FNO 02/11 (Ruhr-University, Bochum)
Howard Caygill is Professor of Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University London. His books on Kant, Levinas and Benjamin are highly respected both for their philosophical rigour and their careful attention to the cultural contexts and implications of philosophical thinking. In these and numerous publications spanning a wide range of modern thought, he carefully exposes the intertwining of philosophy with non-philosophical spheres, such as aesthetics, literature, science, religion and politics.
