SSEMP XIV is the fourteenth edition of a yearly international workshop that brings together established scholars\, young researchers and advanced graduate students working in the field of Early Modern Philosophy. SSEMP welcomes papers on any topic in early modern philosophy (broadly defined to mean pre-Kantian philosophy ranging from late Renaissance philosophy to the early Enlightenment). We particularly encourage proposals which consider early modern philosophy in relation to related disciplines\, such as theology\, the history of literature\, intellectual history and the history of science. SSEMP is conceived as a forum where established academics\, early career researchers\, and advanced PhD students can meet. We make an effort to assure a reasonable gender balance. \;

\n

Submissions for the regular program should include a max. 300-word abstract + contact information gathered in \;A SINGLE PDF-FILE named: &ldquo\;surname.short-title.pdf.&rdquo\; Graduate students submitting to the regular program should include contact information for one referee (typically the supervisor). \;Please \;DO NOT \;blind submissions or submit multiple files. Deadline for submission of abstracts is 5 January 2026. They should be sent by email to Mogens Læ\;rke on \;mogens.laerke@ens-lyon.fr. Due to very high numbers of submissions we cannot undertake to respond individually to all submissions. Applicants who have not been contacted by 2 February 2026 should consider their submission declined.

\n

Please note that SSEMP \;cannot provide funding for travel or accommodation for speakers. We expect to be able to offer lunches and a conference dinner free of charge. SSEMP XIV will begin on 14 May\, 11am\, and finish on 15 May\, 4pm. (approx.)

\n

The SSEMP XIV is organised in collaboration between the Philosophy Department at The University of Edinburgh and the ERC project NOTCOM (ERC AdG 101052433) at the Maison Franç\;aise d&rsquo\;Oxford / IHRIM\, ENS de Lyon.
