http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/21784/ Back to #kant as my drawing board: I wrote a new paper on #cosmopolitan right, its normative foundations and some overlooked legacy of the #metaphysics of nature in understanding this important piece of Kant’s legal-political philosophy. Went down several rabbit’s holes on the key notion of ‘community’ (Third Analogy of Experience) thanks to reviewers’s comments! Forthcoming in Kantian Review and with huge thanks to guest editors A. Cooper and A. Jones!
