In 1966 he was appointed professor of philosophy at the University of Konstanz, where he was instrumental in building the university reform ("Little Harvard at Lake Constance " ) involved. Kambartel stands near the Erlanger School of constructivist philosophy of science. From 1993 until his retirement in 2000 he taught in Frankfurt am Main.

Work

Kambartels focuses on the philosophy of language, the theory of the exact sciences and the philosophy of mind. He has also worked on logic, action theory, moral philosophy and philosophy of economics. He is a member of the Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature.

His main works are published by Suhrkamp Verlag 1968 habilitation thesis "Experience and structure " and the two also published by Suhrkamp essay collections "Theory and reasoning " (1976) and " philosophy of the human world" ( 1989).

Two major themes run throughout the Kambartelsche work, on the one hand the primacy of practical reason, on the other hand the understanding of reason as a culture.

The first theme characterizes especially the science, spirit and action- theoretical work. If practical reason a primacy over the theoretical reason plays, the latter so only on the ground the former is possible, findings from neuroscience can never show about that man is but determined and can not act freely.

The second issue occurs only in the late works out clearly and then also marked a distance to the conceptual structure and attempts to define the Erlanger school. Reason is not exact, for example, by definition as a principle or criterion to pin down. Reason is rather a culture in which one grows, a social practice in which one forms his judgment. Conceptual judgments such as Immanuel Kant's formula itself annotated excerpts from the "grammar" of this culture. The moral is, unlike Kant thought, not the whole or the highest of reason. They see it as a rationality standard among others. The reason this integral rationality standard and weigh it down to other standards of rationality.
