About this book

This Encyclopedia offers a fresh, integrated and creative perspective on the formation and foundations of philosophy and science in European modernity. Combining careful contextual reconstruction with arguments from traditional philosophy, the book examines methodological dimensions, breaks down traditional oppositions such as rationalism vs. empiricism, calls attention to gender issues, to ‘insiders and outsiders’, minor figures in philosophy, and underground movements, among many other topics. In addition, and in line with important recent transformations in the fields of history of science and early modern philosophy, the volume recognizes the specificity and significance of early modern science and discusses important developments including issues of historiography (such as historical epistemology), the interplay between the material culture and modes of knowledge, expert knowledge and craft knowledge.   This book stands at the crossroads of different disciplines and combines their approaches – particularly the history of science, the history of philosophy, contemporary philosophy of science, and intellectual and cultural history. It brings together over 100 philosophers, historians of science, historians of mathematics, and medicine offering a comprehensive view of early modern philosophy and the sciences. It combines and discusses recent results from two very active fields: early modern philosophy and the history of (early modern) science.

Background to Seminar: Many countries of the Global South are set to urbanize rapidly over the next several decades, adding over 2.5 billion new residents to the world’s cities by 2050. At the same time, many developing world cities are undergoing this surging expansion at much lower levels of income and governance capacity than has historically been the case when today’s high-income countries went through their urban transitions. Rapid urbanization combined with poor governance are among the most pressing international development challenges of the 21st century. New policies and governance models are needed to help humanity deal with such challenges. Charter cities are one such model.

Charter cities are new cities with new rules. Charter cities might have different courts, different administration, different labor law, different business registration, or all of the above. Singapore, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Dubai – all proto charter cities – are some of the most successful cities of the post-war era. Replicating their successes in low-income countries today can help lift tens of millions of people out of poverty.

The seminar will take place on-line and is open to students enrolled in the Philosophy, Politics and Economics program.
