Modern Philosophy

This workshop provides a forum for graduate students and faculty interested in the history of philosophy from Descartes to Kant. Workshop sessions include presentations from graduate students as well as from prominent Modern Philosophy scholars. Presenters at the workshop often focus on Descartes, Kant, Locke, Hume, Berkeley, Rousseau, Hobbes, Spinoza, Leibniz, and other figures. They can also examine post-Kantian German idealism, twentieth-century Kantianism, and approaches in contemporary ethical theory and moral and political philosophy that take one of the Modern Philosophy figures or conceptions as their point of departure.
