IMMANUEL KANT und die offenen Fragen

IMMANUEL KANT
AND THE OPEN QUESTIONS
November 24, 2023 to March 17, 2024
in the Bundekunsthalle, Bonn

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) is one of the most important philosophers of the European Enlightenment. His biography is closely linked to the East Prussian royal seat of Königsberg, where he lived and taught for 73 years. Kant's thoughts on epistemology, morality, human dignity and international law have lost none of their explosive urgency to this day. The exhibition aims to make the complex universe of Immanuel Kant accessible to an uneducated philosophical audience, explicitly including a young audience.

In terms of content, it is based on the four famous Kantian questions: "What can I know? What should I do? What can I hope for? What is man?". The approach of tracing Kant's philosophical and biographical path in a differentiated yet comprehensible way also involves trying out new communication formats. In addition to a room-filling graphic novel, this also includes the use of virtual reality: the meticulous reconstruction of the historical Königsberg, which was completely destroyed in 1944/45, as well as the illuminating and entertaining introductions to Kant's philosophy are not only state of the art from a technical point of view, but also a unique educational tool.

An exhibition in cooperation with the East Prussian State Museum with Baltic German Department, Lüneburg, and the DFG research project "How to deal with ...?" at Friedrich Schiller University Jena
