Causation in European Philosophy: The 17th and 18th Centuries
Professor: Bryan Hall, Ph.D., Fulbright Scholar from Indiana University, Southeast
Description: This seminar deals with European Philosophy in the 17th-18th centuries and focuses on the nature of causation which was of particular interest to natural philosophers (the precursors of contemporary scientists) of the period. Although causation is the central theme of the course, it is by no means the only theme. The course will touch on many other important metaphysical and epistemological issues in the Modern period, for example, whether God, the soul, or human freedom exist, what their natures might be, and how we can know these things. All of these different issues will be tied together, however, through our discussion of causation. We will cover a wide variety of interrelated though very different views on causation in the period including those of René Descartes, Nicolas Malebranche, John Locke, Gottfried Leibniz, David Hume, and finally Immanuel Kant. This course will be taught in English. Classes will be a mixture of lecture, classroom discussion, and close reading of the primary texts.

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
Passionate Minds
Knowledge and the Emotions in Intellectual History
The centrality of the emotions in all areas of human thought, action and
expression has lately begun to be recognized and investigated with
increasing interest within a variety of disciplines, from cognitive science
and the philosophy of emotions to literary and anthropological studies. One
central insight of such explorations is that the view of the separation and
even opposition between cognition and affectivity is an unjust
representation of the complexity of the life of both individuals and
communities. Intellectual historians have also become sensitive to the
issue and are in fact in a privileged position to bring to the fore the
variety and richness of the approaches to the interplay of knowledge and
the emotions in the history of thought.
This conference aims to address the topic of the interplay of emotions and
cognition as it bears on historical views of epistemology, logic,
psychology, theology, medicine, moral philosophy or aesthetics, on
approaches to education and the transmission of knowledge, as well as on
the dynamics of intellectual communities. We invite panels and individual
papers that address any aspect of this theme with reference to any
historical period, as well as relevant methodological and historiographic
questions. There will also be general sessions devoted to other proposed
intellectual historical topics.
Please send your panel proposals and paper abstracts by 15 December 2010
to the conference organizers: Dana Jalobeanu, dana.jalobeanu@celfis.ro and
Sorana Corneanu, soranamihaela.corneanu@g.unibuc.ro. For more info see the

Participation fee: 90 EUR for faculty and 60 EUR for students and
unemployed members.
