The Dutch Legacy.

Radical Thinkers of the 17th Century and the Enlightenment

Dir.: Prof. Dr. Sonja Lavaert (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) / Prof. Dr. Winfried Schröder (Philipps-Universität Marburg)

Conference at MARBURGER ARCHIV  •  KANT UND DIE AUFKLÄRUNG, 15. / 16. 9. 2014

While Spinoza’s impact on the early Enlightenment has always found due attention of historians of philosophy, several 17-century Dutch thinkers who were active before Spinoza’s Tractatus theologico-politicus was published have been largely neglected: in particular Spinoza’s teacher Franciscus van den Enden (Vrye Politijke Stellingen, 1662), Pieter de la Court (Consideratien van Staet, 1660, Politike coursen, 1662), Lodewijk Meyer (Philosophia S. Scripturae Interpres, 1666); the anonymous Lucii Antistii Constantis De Jure Ecclesiasticorum, Liber Singularis (1665, also probably by Meyer), and Adriaan Koerbagh (Een Bloemhof van allerley lieflijkheyd, 1668, Een Ligt schynende in duystere plaatsen, 1668). The conference will focus on their political philosophy as well as their philosophy of religion in order to assess their contributions to the development of radical movements (republicanism/anti-monarchism, critique of religion, atheism) in the Enlightenment.

Speakers: Roberto Bordoli (Urbino), Wiep van Bunge (Rotterdam), Sabine Funke  (Karlsruhe), Jonathan Israel (Princeton), Henri Krop (Rotterdam), Bart Leeuwenburgh (Rotterdam), Omero Proietti (Macerata), Piet Steenbakkers (Utrecht), Stefano Visentin (Urbino), Michiel Wielema (Rotterdam).

The conference is funded by the DEUTSCHE FORSCHUNGSGEMEINSCHAFT. Conference fees are not required.
