The Dispute of the Faculties - Der Streit der Fakultäten - is one of the most significant texts in the intellectual history of modernity. Born from the confrontations that foreshadowed and accompanied the French Revolution, this book by Kant contains the first explicit theory of the modern university as well as the first philosophical formulation of civil publicity - topics that remain relevant two centuries later.
This is a modular work consisting of three texts, which analyze the relationships of the philosophical faculty with theology, law, and medicine, respectively. These "academic" correlations provide an opportunity for the philosopher of pure reason to make references to social and political theory, addressing issues of public oversight of power, the role of scientific knowledge in contemporary society, and the position of the university in a society based on the pursuit of individual benefit.
