However, the main body of literature on transcendental arguments focuses on examples from theoretical philosophy, while moral philosophers do not always seem to care as much as their colleagues from theoretical philosophy about the precise status and methodological implications of their reasoning.
At this conference, moral philosophers who make use of or have a strong interest in transcendental arguments will meet experts in the structure and the challenges of transcendental reasoning. The dialogue between them may help to clarify the potential of transcendental reasoning in the field of moral philosophy.
The following questions demand attention:
1. What characterizes transcendental arguments in practical philosophy?
2. What different types of transcendental argumentation can be discerned (for example, explorative versus retorsive, competence-related versus action-related, monological or first-personal versus dialogical or second-personal)?
3. What are the most promising departure points for transcendental reasoning in practical philosophy: Action? The capacity for action? Normative identity? Argumentation? Putting forth a normative aim?
4. Can transcendental arguments in practical philosophy be exposed to similar objections as in theoretical philosophy or are there relevant differences?
5. Is it possible to establish clear-cut, morally substantial propositions by means of transcendental arguments?
6. What degree of truth and/or certainty can be achieved by employing transcendental arguments?

Programm You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
