A little about us

Old questions. New conversations.

The way we think and live today has deep roots in the past. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were formative for the emergence of the modern world and modern thought. Our work brings the history of philosophy and the history of science into conversation, with philosophy of science where it helps illuminate how knowledge was made.

The Early Modern research group investigates early modern philosophy and the sciences through interdisciplinary, international, and integrated research.
