Details

Broadly speaking, the Kant Workshop will feature talks on the themes of freedom, spontaneity, and human agency in Kant’s philosophy as well as the philosophy of related pre- and early post-Kantian philosophers of the modern period. The workshop is being organized around the week-long visit from our Distinguished Visiting Researcher, Dr. Heiner Klemme (Martin Luther University, Halle-Wittenberg). Aside from Dr. Klemme’s presentation, there will be papers given by Dr. John Walsh and Dr. Falk Wunderlich (also of MLU Halle-Wittenberg), Dr. Jochen Bojanowski (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), and Drs. Addison Ellis and Richard Fincham (AUC).

Addison Ellis, AUC

Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy

Addison Ellis received his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2019. Before coming to The American University in Cairo (AUC), he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in Mexico City, and a lecturer at the University of Illinois. His research is focused on Kant and post-Kantian European Philosophy (especially Heidegger). Within these areas, Ellis places particular emphasis on the study of self-consciousness and what Kant calls its ‘spontaneity.’ He is interested in how these themes figure not only in Kant’s theoretical philosophy, but also in his practical and religious thought and, more broadly, how these Kantian ideas are taken up, transformed, or rejected by the post-Kantian tradition.
