The aim of the NY Research Group is to discuss work in
progress in 17th and 18th century philosophy in a relaxed
and informal setting and to focus on broadening and deepening our
understanding rather than simply on defending/criticizing a
thesis.
Meetings will be on Tuesdays 7-8:45 pm. The location will vary but will
be in Manhattan, either at the apartment of the presenter or in another
venue.
