The KU Leuven Institute of Philosophy invites submissions for a conference to mark the 300th anniversary of the first publication of Wolff&rsquo\;s so called &lsquo\;German Logic&rsquo\; in 1713. Wolff&rsquo\;s first philosophy book is one of the most popular and most discussed books in eighteenth century German philosophy and in European philosophy at large. The conference aims at investigating the historical and philosophical significance of the work from the perspectives (1) of its sources (especially through the references to Leibniz\, Jungius and Descartes)\, (2) of its role and meaning within the Wolffian corpus (especially as regards the &ldquo\;logic of concepts&rdquo\;\, the relation of logics to other disciplines\, the analysis of the &ldquo\;powers of the understanding&rdquo\; or the relation of the &lsquo\;German Logic&rsquo\; to its various translations)\, and (3) of its reception (especially by Hoffmann\, Baumgarten and Kant\, but also by Lambert\, Eberhard\, Gottsched\, Meier and Mendelssohn).

\n

The text of Wolff&rsquo\;s Vernü\;nfftige Gedancken von den Krä\;fften des menschlichen Verstandes und ihrem richtigen Gebrauche in Erkä\;ntniß\; der Wahrheit is accessible online here: http://www.zvdd.de/dms/load/dfgv/?PPN=PPN671795139&\;DMDID=DMDLOG_0000
