7th SEKLE International Congress (2026)
The Society for Kantian Studies in Spanish (SEKLE) invites you to participate in the International Congress to be held in Lima, Peru, from August 10 to 13, 2026. Under the motto "sapere aude", the VII International Congress of the SEKLE wishes to highlight Kant's reflections on rationality, autonomy, and the Enlightenment. It thus summons Kantian scholars to rethink these fundamental concepts in light of the current challenges raised against critical and autonomous thinking. In addition to contributions on these concepts and themes, papers related to other aspects of Kant's thought are also welcome. The Congress will admit papers in Spanish, German, Portuguese, English, Italian, and French. However, presentations in a language other than Spanish should also be sent with a translation into English, which will be simultaneously projected to facilitate understanding. There will be both in-person and virtual panels, depending on the option selected by participants at the time of registration.
