CfP: RSA Toronto 2019: Renaissance Philosophy
Papers and/or panels on Renaissance Philosophy are invited for the 65th Annual
Meeting of the Renaissance Society of America (17-19 March 2019)
in Toronto, Canada. Although papers on all aspects of Renaissance
philosophy and thought will be considered, preference will be given to
those focusing on one or more of the following topics:
-ethics and politics (in particular, how the ties between these two areas shift during the period in question)
-philosophy
across
languages (including the rise of philosophy in the vernacular; the
relationship of vernacular philosophy to that produced in other
vernaculars or in Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Latin; issues of “translation”
in philosophy)
-philosophy and
literature
-Aristotelianism
and anti-Aristotelianism (including the Plato–Aristotle controversy)
-intersections between
philosophy and history of the book
We aim for a good chronological and geographical spread where possible and appropriate.
