CIRCULATING IDEAS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY EUROPE:
NETWORKS, KNOWLEDGE, AND FORMS
Keynote speakers: Mark Greengrass, Margaret Ezell, and Richard Serjeantson
Royal Society, London. 8-10 July, 2010
Presented in conjunction with the 350th anniversary of the Royal Society
The seventeenth century in Europe was an age of turmoil. As wars, revolutions, and exploration redrew the boundaries of the physical world, a tumult of new ideas shifted the boundaries of the intellectual world. In poetry and in polemics, men and women involved in philosophy, theology, politics, and science created a dynamic knowledge economy.
But if ideas were the currency of this economy, then how did writers, thinkers, and agents choose the forms in which that currency should circulate? This conference takes up that question, investigating the relationship between the circulation of ideas and the forms in which they circulated.
Registration for the conference is now open. For full details, including the programme, book of abstracts and registration form, please go to the website:
