Political Theory
Constitutionalism and Freedom in Kant and Hegel
ABSTRACT
This conference looked at the differences between Kant and Hegel on constitutionalism, but also asked about whether there is an inherent connection between constitutionalism and freedom, since both agreed that the political constitution is in itself one of the greatest human accomplishments and is what allows for true individual freedom.
