The Eclectic Scientific Revolution?
24-28 June 2019, Bran
The Bucharest-Princeton Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy has a long tradition of challenging current assumptions about the birth of the modern science, and exploring hidden corners of early modern thought, from the losers of the so-called Scientific Revolution to obscure and forgotten figures, to the reevaluation of canonical thinkers. This year, we would like to investigate the idea of an ‘eclectic scientific revolution.’
The format of the seminar will be similar to that which we have followed in previous years. There will be reading groups in the morning, where we examine common texts together, followed by work in progress presented by participants in the afternoon. We welcome individual paper submissions on any topic connected with the broad themes of the seminar.
