The SSEMP is a yearly event that brings together established scholars,
young researchers and advanced graduate students working in the field of
Early Modern Philosophy. We welcome abstracts on any topic in pre-Kantian
early modern philosophy(broadly defined, ranging from late Renaissance
philosophy to the Enlightenment.) Proposals that consider early modern
philosophy in relation to other related disciplines, such as theology,
intellectual history and/or the history of science, are encouraged. The
aim is to foster scholarly exchange among different generations of
academics in the UK and strengthen international collaboration. Scholars
abroad are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts. Presentations should
be in English. Final papers should be approximately 40 minutes in reading
length. Abstracts (200 words) should be sent to Dr. Mogens Lærke by email:
m.laerke@abdn.ac.uk. Graduate students should provide names and contact
information of two references. The submission deadline is February 1st,
2012.
This year, the event will take place in the brand new Queen Mother Library
on campus. For more info on the location, see

possible hotels and B&B’s close to campus will be provided once the
program is set.
For those who might consider staying a couple of days extra, note that the
British Society for the History of Philosophy Annual Conference will take
place immediately after, on 11-12 May, at the University of Dundee, about
1 1/2 hours train ride south of Aberdeen. The theme of this conference
is: “Spinoza, the Infinite and the Eternal.” For further information and
