Room A7-209.

Finn Makela, Professor at the Faculty of Law of the University of Sherbrooke, will host a discussion on the modern concept of ‘critique’ is influenced by Emmanuel Kant’s philosophical project. Kant distinguished this project’s methodology from what he termed “the illegitimate approach of dogmatism”. Through a discussion on this distinction and by following the evolution of the project of ‘critique’, in the work of, amongst others, G. W. Hegel and Karl Marx, Professor Makela exposes its relevancy for understanding the heteroclite approaches claiming to constitute a “critique of law”.
