Spinoza and Bodies

This conference focuses on uses of Spinoza in the sciences and social sciences, considering (for example) physical bodies, individuation, epistemology, materialism, ecology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of nature, as well as Spinoza's thinking about bodies of scientific knowledge, law, ethics, and politics.

POSTGRADUATE CALL FOR PAPERS:

Abstracts are invited from Masters and PhD students for papers of 45-minutes reading time on any topic relevant to the conference theme. This is an interdisciplinary network, and papers looking at Spinoza from a non- (or not strictly) philosophical perspective are welcome.
