Freedom and Obligation in the Seventeenth Century

This workshop will bring Princeton faculty and graduate students together with scholars from outside institutions to consider the “freedom of philosophizing” at work in the early Enlightenment and late Reformation, exploring “economies of obligation” and ideas of kinship, exchange, and patronage.

Full schedule here.

Made possible by a Humanities Council Special Grant supported by the Eberhard L. Faber 1915 Memorial Fund in the Humanities Council; the University Center for Human Values; Center for Culture, Society and Religion; and Committee on Renaissance and Early Modern Studies.
