ATLANTIC CANADA SEMINAR IN EARLY MODERN PHILOSOPHY

The seventh annual meeting of the Atlantic Canada Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy will be held at Dalhousie University, July 8-11, 2010.

Like similar seminars in other parts of North America, the Atlantic Canada Seminar is an informal group, formed to foster interaction among scholars of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century philosophy.. Papers on any subject in early modern philosophy (roughly, the period from Montaigne up to Kant) are welcome. Reading times are approximately 50 minutes with 30 minutes for discussion. There are no concurrent sessions. A few speakers are invited, though most will be vetted through a selection process that includes external refereeing. Reports will usually be available to authors. We make space for some graduate students. (If you are a graduate student, please indicate.) Non- presenters are also welcome to attend and will be included in all our activities and listed on the program. We sometimes have chairs for our sessions; if you are interested in chairing in lieu of presenting, please let us know. No funding is provided, (this also applies to invited speakers) but inexpensive accommodations in university residence housing is available, in addition to a variety of hotel accommodation in the vicinity of the conference.

Halifax is a beautiful port city, and July is a temperate month. For more information on Halifax, visit:

The deadline for submitting abstracts (of approximately 750 words) is 1 March 2010. We will try to the have the program available by May 1, 2010. Information on accommodations and travel will be available at that time.
