TRANSLATIO STUDIORUM - ANCIENT, MEDIEVAL, AND MODERN BEARERS OF

INTELLECTUAL HISTORY

International Society for Intellectual History Conference

 

Verona, 25th-27th May 2009

 

Overview:

 

The University of Verona (Italy) hosts the 10th International Confrence

of the International Society for Intellectual History. he International

Society for Intellectual History was created in 1994 to foster

communication and interaction among the international community of

intellectual historians and scholars working in related fields. As

agreed upon at its founding, the Society will make no attempt to define

intellectual history as having only one approach. The Society therefore

invites membership from scholars working in such diverse fields as art

and music, religion and literature, philosophy, politics, and the

sciences. The goal of the Society is two-fold: to bring together

scholars working in the field of intellectual history and in related

fields; and to provide this international community of scholars with a

forum for debating and discussing various approaches to the study of

intellectual history.

 

The previous confrences were hosted Birkbeck College, University of

London, 17-20 April 2007; Davis, California, USA, March, 31- April 3,

2005; Helsinki, Finland (July 2004); Istanbul, Turkey (2003); Sydney

(2002); Cambridge, England (2001); Chicago (September 2000); Berlin

(1998); and New Brunswick, NJ (1997).
