Good and evil in Jaspers with regard to Kant

• Applicant: Larysa Mandryshchuk, Ph.D.
• Subject Area: History of Philosophy
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 546751407

The purpose of the research project is to analyze Jaspersʼ understanding of good and evil and to highlight the influence of Kantʼs perversion theory of evil on Jaspersʼ thinking, as well as to compare the concepts of good and evil in both philosophers. I plan to publish the results of my research as an article in German. Based on the contributions at the international conference on the topic “Good and Evil in the Philosophy of Karl Jaspers with a view on Kant and Arendt”, which took place in September 2023 at the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, I also plan to publish the volume in 2025 together with Dr. Dominic Kaegi (Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities).
