We are pleased to announce the first meeting of the Dutch Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy. It aims at bringing together advanced students and scholars working on Early Modern Philosophy (broadly conceived, ranging from the later scholastics to Kant). Following similar models of workshops, we hope to stimulate further exchange and collaboration on various topics in the field.
There are no fees for registration. Attendance is free and most welcome.
