Immanuel Kant’s 300th Birthday, Human Dignity, and the German Constitution
Abstract
Immanuel Kant, born on April 22, 1724, would have celebrated his 300th birthday this year. And the German Constitution, the Basic Law (Grundgesetz) turns 75 years old in a few weeks. What do these two mean to each other? What does Kant's philosophy have to do with the Basic Law?
