We also host discussions of new books (i.e., author-meets-critics sessions). Presenters are invited (but not obliged) to pre-circulate drafts, and participants are invited (but equally not obliged) to read any pre-circulated papers. The Spinoza and Early/Modern Philosophy Workshop acknowledges the generous support of the Singleton Center for the Study of Premodern Europe (Johns Hopkins University). https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events daily 0.75 2025-06-30 https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/jason-yonover monthly 0.5 2021-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1604339253435-M5JYPW3SPOPGB8UW90QG/yonover+%28Privat%29.jpg Events - Jan. 24, Jason Yonover (Johns Hopkins) - "Spinozism from von Stein to Schmitt" https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/mogens-laerke monthly 0.5 2021-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1618621888496-8B2PLZQ8ST26GNZA9X61/1.png Events - April 25, Mogens Laerke (CNRS) et al. - "Spinoza and the Freedom of Philosophizing" https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/luce-delire monthly 0.5 2020-12-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1604880125882-N384RJGP0PDH6ELZFYUF/signal-2019-09-27-171817.jpeg Events - Dec. 20, Luce deLire (Johns Hopkins) - "Spinoza's Theory of Indeterminacy" https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/clare-carlisle monthly 0.5 2021-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1607275453484-2FMDONDX4ONJR4RQ7J6D/author+photo+fsg.jpg Events - May 9, Clare Carlisle (KCL) - "Spinoza's Concept of Religion" https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/sean-butler monthly 0.5 2021-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1612418002411-2KKYIWCUFQZYXTOTJOZM/Professional+pic.png Events - May 23, Sean Butler (Claremont) - "Parallelism Problems" https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/jack-stetter monthly 0.5 2021-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1613495927577-RMCEVDLJA3UKF4WOQJUG/IMG-20181118-WA0001%281%29.jpg Events - May 30, Jack Stetter (Loyola U) - "Spinoza on Ignorance" https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/stephen-harrop monthly 0.5 2021-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1612888402087-JQTR5GY9X39Y9BBMRMX4/51730750_736191240086933_419149934340603904_n%5B1%5D.jpg Events - June 13, Stephen Harrop (Yale University) - "Spinoza on Space and Motion" https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/sandra-field monthly 0.5 2021-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1615872109937-KV2ZHAWSNEHWKBHVGHKY/Sandra-Field-380x507.jpg Events - June 27, Sandra Field (Yale-NUS) - "Marx, Spinoza, and Radical Democracy" https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/tad-schmaltz-panel monthly 0.5 2021-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1618621721206-LMSLUZHJJMICVQZTTVOT/2.png Events - June 20, Tad Schmaltz (U Michigan) et al. - Panel: "The Metaphysics of the Material World" https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/maimon monthly 0.5 2021-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1623783854537-KCBV8W8UE3DOAZ7ZTR9T/4 Events - July 11, Workshop on Salomon Maimon https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/tracie-matysik monthly 0.5 2021-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1624596149900-J3D3QR7B39W1IIDAYFGM/Tracie Events - July 25, Tracie Matysik (U Texas) - "How Spinoza Became a Dialectical Materialist" https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/malte-bischof monthly 0.5 2021-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1624763785372-TDTN9QLBZXHSRSSUIWG9/51730750_736191240086933_419149934340603904_n%5B1%5D.jpg Events - July 18, Kay Malte Bischof (U Notre Dame) - "Spinoza's Descent to the Many" https://www.spinozaandemp.com/events/fall monthly 0.5 2021-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9e219befa1712cfe1a2c72/1626535798372-RZC8BEX0QMUJU0QX9JYC/22d4ed68bbbbb534861ffaeb687653e7.jpg Events - Fall 2021 series now underway!
