The First Northern Seminar in Late Modern Philosophy

What is the Northern Seminar in Late Modern Philosophy?

This seminar is modelled on the many seminars in Early Modern Philosophy. However, it covers a later historical period. It focuses on philosophy from the nineteenth to the mid twentieth century, i.e, roughly Hegel to Stebbing. The aim is to bring together established scholars, graduate students, and young researchers who work on various different areas and philosophers from this era and encourage a productive dialogue.

Call For Papers 

Papers on any subject in late modern philosophy are welcome. There will be a reading time of approximately 30 mins for the paper with an additional 15 mins for Q&A. We will select up to 12 papers and there will be no concurrent sessions.

The deadline for submitting abstracts (of no more than 300 words) will be 15 January 2025. Please send a single pdf which includes your abstract and contact information. These should be sent to Jeremy Dunham at [email protected]

Funding and Bursaries 

The seminar has received generous support from the British Society for the History of Philosophy and the Analysis Trust. Thanks to the Analysis Trust we have two bursaries of £105 each available for graduate students to support up to 50% of the costs of accommodation (they cannot be used to cover travel costs). Thanks to the BSHP, we have also have support for childcare costs. Please contact me (Jeremy Dunham) at the above email with any questions you may have about these funds. Please note that at present, I do not have any other funds to help with the travel or accommodation of speakers.
