Nominator's project description

Professor Vigo is an internationally renowned philosopher specializing in the classical Greek philosophy of Plato and Aristotle as well as in the philosophy of Kant and of Heidegger. He has contributed, by deep-going and far-reaching research in these fields, to the elucidation of the logical, the epistemological and the ontological presuppositions of our common human praxis. During his stay in Germany he will concentrate on Kant's theory of action.
