The Bucharest-Princeton Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy is an international annual meeting of scholars interested in various aspects of early modern thought. The aim of the seminar is to create a stimulating environment for discussing papers and ideas. Traditionally, the seminar has two components: morning reading groups and afternoon discussions of work-in-progress. This year, the topic for the morning sessions will be Spinozas Tractatus theologico-politicus. In addition to this we are inviting papers on all aspects of early modern philosophy/early modern science. The languages of the seminar are English and French.
Invited speakers: Daniel Garber (Princeton University), Roger Ariew (University of South Florida), Ed Curley(University of Michigan), Frederic de Buzon (Universite de Strasbourg)
