17th Century Philosophy, Its Sources and Continuations in Natural Sciences: Astronomy - Astrology - Medicine
Łódź, Poland, 8–10 September 2021
 
Institute of Philosophy, University of Lodz Lindleya Street 3/5

3rd floor, I. Lazari-Pawłowska Room

 
The subject of this edition of the annual 17th Century Philosophy Conference are the connections of seventeenth-century philosophy with early modern science. 'Science' is understood in the historically relativized sense of the term, and thus not limited by the contemporary classification of scientific disciplines. The aim of the conference is to establish paradigmatic connections and show mutual inspirations or theoretical interactions between the philosophical thought of the 17th century and early modern scientific reflection, which was carried out in the fields of both mathematical and natural sciences – with an emphasis on the relationship between philosophy and astronomy, astrology and medicine.
