Nominator's project description

Professor Ware is a renowned Canadian philosopher who has deepened and expanded our understanding of Classical German Philosophy. He has deepened our understanding by developing a new interpretation of Kantian and post-Kantian ethics, redefining the crucial relationship between freedom, normativity, and self-transformation. And he has broadened our understanding by relating this account in surprising ways to Romanticism and to Classical Indian Philosophy.
