Reformation and Modernity

Bucharest, November 17-18, 2017


Faculty of Philosophy, University of Bucharest

 

Organized by: Faculty of Philosophy & IRH-ICUB, Center for the Study of Rationality and Beliefs, University of Bucharest

Invited speakers: Mircea Flonta (University of Bucharest), Günter Frank (Karlsruhe University), Hans Klaus Keul (University of Ulm), Mogens Laerke (ENS Lyon), Ilmari Karimies (Univerity of Helsinki), Scott Mandelbrote (University of Cambridge), Charlotte Methuen (University of Glasgow), Vasilică Mugurel Păvălucă (Technical University Dortmund),  Michal Valčo (Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra), Wolfram Weisse (Hamburg University). 

500 years ago, a piece of theological writing triggered an intellectual and social process with tremendous intellectual, social and political consequences. In many senses, we are still living in its aftermath, trying to understand its impact upon the social and cultural framework which we now perceive as familiar. Over time, the Reformation engaged the attention of philosophers, historians, sociologists, theologians, historians of ideas and historians of science attempting to understand its relation with the modern philosophy, the scientific revolution, capitalism, other cultural and social phenomena characteristic of European modernity.

Our conference aims to provide a forum for discussing current debates and breakthroughs on the subject of the inter-relations between Reformation and Modernity. We welcome papers coming from a variety of perspectives, and from all humanist disciplines. Students’ contributions will also be taken into consideration, since the organizers are planning to organize a student panel.

Conference languages: English and Romanian.
