Second International Conference on the History of the Humanities

21-23 October 2010, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Goal of the conference: This is the second of a biennially organized conference that brings together scholars and historians of the various humanities disciplines to draw the outlines for a comparative history of the humanistic sciences (such as philology, linguistics, musicology, media studies, historical sciences). Although there exist separate histories of single humanities disciplines, a comparative history would satisfy a long-felt need, and fill a conspicuous gap in intellectual history.

Theme of the 2010 conference: “From Early Modern to Modern Disciplines”
