Rio de Janeiro State University - UERJ

Official Anouncement

Call for submissions

The First International Conference on Women of Modern Philosophy, will be held in Rio de Janeiro, 17th to 20th June 2019.

Rio de Janeiro is a national center of Early Modern Philosophy (above all, at the UERJ and UFRJ), one of the more developed areas of research in philosophy in our country. All Brazilian researchers who confirmed participation in the meeting are heirs of that school of reading the history of philosophy with a method of conceptual analysis, with deep respect to the letter of the historical text. It would be a great joy and could also be an occasion for us to begin an exchange and network on Early Moderh Philosophy’s research also with a regard to the possibilities of rewriting the canon.

The meeting is already on its preliminary arrangements. Works on the thoughts of Elisabeth of Bohemia, Margareth Cavendish, Catharine Trotter Cockburn, The two “Sophies”, Cristina of Sweden, Anne Conway, Émilie Du Châtelet, among other women, are expected.
