Reassessing Intellectual History:
Passions and  Virtues in Early Modern Europe

In the past decades intellectual history has flourished. A new set of
approaches, from the Cambridge School to New Historicism and the
varieties of conceptual history, have rejuvenated the field, moving well
beyond the remnants of old Geistesgeschichte, of the classical history
of ideas. The aim of this summer school is to reassess recent
developments in intellectual history as a distinctly interdisciplinary
field of studies standing at the crossroads of history, literature,
philosophy, politics and religion.

The Wolfenbüttel summer school will bring together an international and
distinctly interdisciplinary group of scholars, interested in particular
in the relationships between history, literature and religion. Together
these scholars will focus firstly on the philosophical debates that have
characterised intellectual history so strongly, from the debates on
intentionality, the importance of agency and/or structure, on whether to
study concepts or speech acts, on how to do contextualisation, up to the
challenges from some of the post-modern approaches to the study of
literature and history.

Combining debates on ‘theory’ with ‘practice’, the main focus of the
summer school is on one of the key themes of modern intellectual
history, the study of passions and virtues in early modern history.  Put
in a nutshell, the course will explore how artists, philosophers,
pamphleteers and politicians addressed the relation between human
passions and moral and political virtues - moving from sixteenth-century
debates on conscience, to seventeenth-century theories of passions and
virtues, finishing with the eighteenth-century debates on passions and
politeness.
