CfP: Special issue Society and Politics - Early Modern Intellectual Networks
Invited editor: Ovidiu Babeș
Intellectual interactions played a major role in
shaping modern thought. There are many ways in which the ambition of the
advancement of knowledge was carried out in a collaborative way by the
prominent Early Modern figures. Theoretical interactions such as written correspondence
facilitated the exchange of learning and influenced philosophical ideas arisen
in the seventeenth century. This was doubled by an increasing interest in the
process of disseminating knowledge that engaged intelligencers and philosophers
with different backgrounds and sometimes interested in quite different
projects. Such examples are the circles emerged around the figures of Mersenne,
Hartlib, or Oldenburg. How do the two interact and in what ways theoretical and
practical concerns mingled in the new philosophy?
This issue of Societate și Politică (Society and Politics) aims at exploring the relation between these
intellectual networks and the advancement of knowledge in any branch of early
modern philosophical studies.
Societate și Politică welcomes research coming from
different fields (history of philosophy, history and philosophy of science,
history and philosophy of mathematics, etc.) and strongly encourages
cross-disciplinary approaches.
