Beginning in 2025, the University of Technology Nuremberg (UTN) will serve as a permanent partner and host institution of the Princeton-Bucharest Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy. The 23rd edition of the seminar – and the first under its new name, Princeton-Bucharest-Nuremberg Seminar (PBN) – will take place from June 30 to July 4, bringing together international scholars to explore this year’s theme: “The Losers of the Scientific Revolution”.
Participants can expect a rich academic program featuring lectures, reading groups, and panel discussions. Highlights include the inaugural lecture by Daniel Garber (Roads Not Taken), a roundtable on “Humanism as a Loser of the Scientific Revolution”, and the debate “Leviathan and the Air Pump: 40 Years Later.” Additional talks will address overlooked thinkers, marginalized ideas, and contested narratives from the early modern period.
Founded in 2001 by Dana Jalobeanu, Vlad Alexandrescu (University of Bucharest), and Daniel Garber (Princeton University), the Princeton-Bucharest Seminar has established itself as a key forum for interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of early modern philosophy.
