This workshop on “Letters by Early Modern Philosophers” will take place during the ISSEI conference of 02-06 July 2012. You will find more info at the conference site at http://issei2012.haifa.ac.il/. The precise date of the workshop will be announced later on. We are especially interested in papers which discuss (a) letter(s) written in the 17th century discussing controversial items at the border between early science and early modern philosophy, such as those by Galileo, Descartes, Mersenne, Boyle, Spinoza, Newton, Huygens, Hobbes, Oldenburg, Leibniz, and so on.
"Early Modern Thought Online" (EMTO) is a database offering access to about 13.500 digitized source texts from early modern philosophy and related disciplines like history of science and history of theology provided by libraries in Europe and overseas. In the present stage of its development, EMTO presents mainly links to external resources.
This blog intends to show how to profit from concepts and methods of the digital humanities. It will give practical advice on how to use digitised sources. We will present digital collections relevant to our field, and discuss their relevance for early modern philosophy and history of ideas. But we want to do philosophy as well: present ongoing research related to sources present in EMTO. We hope that this blog, as well as EMTO as a whole, will be a helpful tool and provide a lively forum for discussion.
EMTO is on Twitter, Facebook and Google+.
