We are pleased to announce that the fifth annual meeting of the
Southwest Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy will be held 27 - 28 February
2010 at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM. Following the model
of similar seminars around the U.S. and Canada, the Southwest Seminar was
formed to foster interaction among scholars who work on various topics in the
history of early modern philosophy (a period ranging, roughly, from Montaigne
to Kant). |

Papers
on any subject in early modern philosophy are welcome for presentation at the
Southwest Seminar. Reading times should
be approximately 45 minutes. The
