We are excited to announce that the Early Modern Philosophy Workshop will expand in the 2008-2009 year to become the Modern Philosophy Workshop. With this shift in emphasis we hope to accommodate the broader interests of graduate students at the University of Chicago working on philosophers across the entire Modern period, roughly from Descartes through the post-Kantian idealists. All graduate students and faculty interested in the Modern period are welcome.
Our new faculty advisors are Robert Pippin and Anton Ford.
The workshop will continue to meet on Fridays at 10:30am in Stuart 209 unless otherwise posted.
Also, we are currently filling in our schedule of speakers for the 2008-2009 year. University of Chicago graduate students interested in presenting on Modern Philosophy please contact dsmyth@uchicago.edu.
This Friday, March 7, the Early Modern Philosophy Workshop presents:
Andreas Blank | Herzog August Bibliothek
10:30am | Stuart Hall | Rm 209
Coffee and snacks will be provided.
We will discuss his paper:
“Existential Dependence and the Question of Emanative Causation in Protestant Metaphysics, 1570-1620”
The paper will not be read during the workshop so please read the paper in advance. For a copy of the paper, e-mail cntodd@uchicago.edu.
This Friday’s EMP workshop for February 1 with Thomas Land has been canceled.
The EMP Workshop is currently filling in our schedule for Winter and Spring 2008. If you are a graduate student at the University of Chicago with a relevant paper on Early Modern Philosophy, then we invite you to contact us at: cntodd@uchicago.edu. Students from Philosophy, Divinity, Social Thought and other departments welcome.
