Her primary research interest lies in what she calls the \u201cleft-Kantian\u201d tradition of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This current is heavily influenced by Kant&#8217;s philosophy but replaces his individualist notion of freedom with a communitarian concept of freedom inspired by Marx. Although her work focuses on historical authors, she engages with them in dialogue with contemporary political theorists, particularly neo-Marxists (such as Gerald A. Cohen), neo-Republicans (such as Philip Pettit), and Critical Theorists (such as Rainer Forst).     <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Research project title:<\/strong><br\/>Left-Kantianism<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Publications (selection):<\/strong><br\/><em>Book<\/em><br\/>2023. <em>Left-Kantianism in the Marburg School,<\/em> De Gruyter<br\/><em>Articles<\/em><br\/>2025. \u201cKant&#8217;s Republican Account of Citizenship,\u201d <em>Ratio.<\/em><br\/>2025. \u201cJohann Benjamin Erhard on Economic Injustice,\u201d <em>British Journal for the History of Philosophy.<\/em><br\/>2024. \u201cHermann Cohen&#8217;s Neo-Kantian Socialism,\u201d <em>Kantian Review.<\/em>   <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Events:<\/strong><br\/>May 27: Lecture \u201cKant on Republicanism, Economically Stratified\u201d at the colloquium of Prof. Rainer Forst<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Postdoctoral Researcher at the London School of Economics In cooperation with Prof. Dr. Rainer Forst Duration of stay: April &#8211; September 2025 Dr. Elisabeth Theresia Widmer is a postdoctoral researcher, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10560,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"position":[213],"institute":[292,293],"class_list":["post-10561","member","type-member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","position-former-fellow","institute-philosophy","institute-politic-science"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member\/10561"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/member"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"position","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/position?post=10561"},{"taxonomy":"institute","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/institute?post=10561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
