She has held visiting positions at the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of St. Andrews, and she is an executive editor of the Journal of Canadian Philosophy.

In addition to her Sex, Love, and Gender: A Kantian Theory (Oxford University Press, 2020), Varden has published many articles on a range of classical philosophical issues including Kant’s answer to the murderer at the door, private property, care relations, political obligations, and political legitimacy, as well as on applied issues such as privacy, poverty, non-human animals, and terrorism. The talk delivered here—“Kant and Arendt on Barbaric and Totalitarian Evil”—on how theorize political evil, points both backward to a theme running through Sex, Love, and Gender and forward to a central theme in her new book project on Kant’s transformation of the social contract tradition.

22/03/2021: Helga Varden on Kant and Arendt on Barbaric and Totalitarian Evil

Lucy Allais

Immanuel Kant has been one of the biggest influences in the field of Philosophy, probably the biggest during the age of enlightenment. His contributions in the realm of ethics, philosophy of knowledge, and political philosophy. However much his theories might seem ethical and pure, history often ignores the ugly truth. Kant, a phenomenal thinker and philosopher, was a racist and a sexist. In this episode, we have Professor Lucy Allais and Professor Helga Varden discussing a comprehensive outlook on Kant. From his views on different genders, his blatant and open sexist remarks, his theory of the races, and the reality of libertarian views, they unveil how Kant might be a brilliant thinker but her wasn't exactly the most politically correct person. It also brings up an interesting topic: can you separate the art from the artist? Do you allow the great thinkers of your time to have an opinion that doesn't quite resonate with whatever may be politically correct in the given time period?   Music Credits: https://www.instagram.com/flace_music/ Professor Helga Varden: https://philosophy.illinois.edu/directory/profile/hvarden https://experts.illinois.edu/en/persons/helga-varden Professor Lucy Allais: https://profiles.ucsd.edu/lucy.allais https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=vjlzh1QAAAAJ&amp;hl=en Artwork Credits: https://www.instagram.com/mercuryprobe/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thephilosophyjunkie/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThePhilJunkie?s=21 Website: https://www.thephilosophyjunkie.com Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/thephilosophyjunkie

Immanuel Kant's Racism and Sexism with Professors Lucy Allais and Helga Varden

Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804) er kjent for en streng seksualetikk. Han fordømte både homofili og onani. Hvorfor landet han på disse konklusjonene? Og kan Kant lære oss noe interessant om kjønn og seksualitet nå i dag, selv om vi forkaster en del av konklusjonene hans?I denne episoden av Moralistene intervjuer vi den norsk-amerikanske filosofen Helga Varden (University of Illinois), som nylig har skrevet en bok om Kants teori om sex. Boken kommer ut på Oxford University Press i løpet av året.Vardens artikler om temaet ligger på Academia.edu: http://illinois.academia.edu/HelgaVarden
