As with other Seminars in Early Modern Philosophy, papers on any subject in early modern philosophy (roughly, the period from Montaigne to Kant) are welcome. We particularly encourage papers which suggest new or less frequently discussed topics, themes, and critical approaches to the history of modern philosophy, discuss and familiarize the group with new texts, or deploy an interdisciplinary approach, e.g. literature and philosophy, and politics and philosophy. One main speaker is invited. All other papers are blind peer reviewed. Roughly eight to ten papers are accepted each year.
