15th Nordic Workshop in Early Modern Philosophy

The Nordic Workshop in Early Modern Philosophy–or NWEMP, for those in the know–has been fostering collaboration among scholars of Early Modern philosophy across the Nordic and Baltic regions for more than fifteen years. Since its launch in Tartu, Estonia in 2008, the workshop has been hosted by many leading universities across the region, travelling from Tartu to Jyväskylä,  Helsinki, Tampere, or Turku in Finland, Uppsala, Umeå, and Gothenburg in Sweden, Oslo in Norway, Reykjavik in Iceland, and, on several occasions, returning home to Tartu. For the first time, we welcome NWEMP to Vilnius, Lithuania!

This year is especially significant as we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the workshop, marking a milestone in its continued success and growth. We look forward to the engaging presentations, lively discussions, and opportunities to connect with colleagues old and new. We hope this gathering will inspire fruitful collaborations and deepen our collective understanding of Early Modern philosophy.

This year, the keynote lecture will be given by Julia Borcherding (Cambridge University) on Margaret Cavendish’s philosophical epistemology.

The workshop will take place on 21–22 August 2025 at the Vilnius University Faculty of Philosophy (Universiteto str. 9) in room 201.

There is also a possibility to attend the workshop online on MS Teams:
