Keynote Speaker: Angela Breitenbach
Angela Breitenbach is University Associate Professor in the Cambridge Faculty of Philosophy and Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge. She has published widely on themes in the philosophy of Kant, the philosophy of science, and aesthetics, with a particular focus on their intersection. She has held research fellowships by the Leverhulme Trust and at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study to pursue projects on the aesthetics of science and on Kantian conceptions of the unity of science. She is co-editor of volumes on Aesthetics in Mathematics (with Rizza, 2018), Kant and the Laws of Nature (with Massimi, 2017), and Laws of Nature: Contemporary and Historical Perspectives (with Massimi, 2017). In Die Analogie von Vernunft und Natur (2009) she develops an interpretation of Kant’s philosophy of biology and argues for its continued relevance for contemporary philosophy of science and environmental philosophy.
