CfA: Bucharest-Princeton Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy and Science (17th edition)
Invited
speakers include: Arianna Borrelli (TU, Berlin), Antonio Clericuzio (Roma Tre),
Daniel Garber (Princeton), Dana Jalobeanu (Bucharest), Arnaud Pelletier
(Bruxelles), Koen Vermeir (Paris).
The
Bucharest-Princeton Seminar is an annual interdisciplinary meeting of scholars
and students of early modern thought. Its aim is to create a stimulating environment for
discussing papers and ideas through formal and informal discussions,
reading-groups and round tables. Morning sessions are organized as reading
groups, while the afternoon sessions give participants an opportunity to
discuss their own special interests with an open and sympathetic audience of
students and scholars with broad interests in early modern philosophy and early
modern science. Texts for the reading groups are distributed one month in
advance. There is no pre-established theme, but we are looking for
contributions emphasizing the interplay between early modern philosophy and the
“sciences” of the seventeenth century.
The process of
selection: Please send us your proposal by April 30, 2018 (CV, letter of
intention and a short description of your project). If you want to present a
paper, add an abstract (max 500 words); if you want to propose a reading group,
send a 1000 words description (including the proposed bibliography) to dana.jalobeanu@filosofie.
Venue
This year, the
seminar will take place in Bran, a small resort near Brasov, in Transylvania.
We will travel together from Bucharest to Bran by bus. Participants are
expected to arrive in Bucharest on June 27 and leave on July 5. In Bran, the
group will be accommodated together, in Villa Andra (single and double rooms,
some shared bathrooms). For more information concerning the venue,
