Eighteenth-Century European Culture
Scholars from a variety of disciplines -- history, literature, philosophy, political science, music, and art -- present papers from work in progress treating some aspect of eighteenth-century European culture. The Seminar's meetings in 2007-2008 were devoted to the origins of the modern concept of free speech, both conceptually (e.g., what is the relationship between free speech and the period or idea of "the Enlightenment"?) and contextually (what conditions promoted its institutionalization?).
