SCOTTISH SEMINAR IN EARLY MODERN PHILOSOPHY VI (SSEMP VI)
7-8 May 2015
University of St Andrews

Key Note Speakers:
Dr. Thomas Ahnert (University of Edinburgh)
Prof. Moira Gatens (University of Sydney)

The SSEMP IV is the sixth edition of a yearly event that brings together
established scholars, young researchers and advanced graduate students
working in the field of Early Modern Philosophy. The aim is to foster
scholarly exchange among the different generations of academics in the UK
and to strengthen international collaboration. We welcome abstracts on any

topic in pre-Kantian early modern philosophy (broadly defined, ranging from
late Renaissance philosophy to the Enlightenment.) We particularly
encourage proposals that consider early modern philosophy in relation to
other related disciplines, such as theology, intellectual history and/or
the history of science. Presentations should be in English and
approximately 45 minutes in reading length. We make an effort to assure a
reasonable gender balance.

The SSEMP awards a Graduate Student Essay Prize which this year, like last
year, is funded by the British Society for the History of Philosophy. The
prize includes an invitation to present the essay at the SSEMP and a
bursary of £200 towards travel and accommodation. The bursary cannot be
used for any other purpose. Submissions to the essay competition should
include: (1) Name, affiliation, name and email of supervisor, and personal
contact information; (2) the complete essay (max. 6000 words, including
notes). Everything should be gathered in a single pdf or word file.
Deadline for submissions is 1 February 2015. They should be sent by email
to Mogens Lærke on [email protected]. Those who wish to submit a
proposal both as a complete text for the essay competition and as a short
abstract for the regular program are free to do so.

Abstracts for the regular program (approx. 150 words) should be sent by
email to Mogens Lærke on [email protected] as a single word or pdf
file, including name and contact information. Graduate students submitting
to the regular program should include contact information for one referee
(typically the supervisor.) Deadline for submission of abstracts is 1
February 2015.

Please note that the SSEMP cannot provide funding for travel or
accommodation for speakers.
