Some history

The Southeastern Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy was founded by René Descartes in 1639 as the Seminaire philosophique du sud-est. Originally located in southeastern Holland, the seminar migrated to the US in 1993 after more than 350 years without a meeting.

OK none of that is true. In reality, The Southeastern Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy is an informal group that meets yearly for a weekend conference devoted to topics in 17^th and 18^th century philosophy.

2007 Meeting scheduled for November 10-11

This year's meeting will take place over the weekend of November 10-11 at the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL. We'll be celebrating the 388^th anniversary of Descartes' famous three dreams.

Deadline for submissions is September 15.

Information about the program and arrangements for accomodation will be available in early October.
