Interdisciplinary Discussion Circle on Enlightenment Research

In January 2019, an interdisciplinary discussion circle on Enlightenment research was established at the Centre for Book Studies of the LMU Munich, the members of which meet at regular intervals (once or twice per semester) to discuss current research questions concerning the history of the Enlightenment. The aim of this interdisciplinary discussion circle, however, is also to prepare and hold events of varying formats, such as lecture series and workshops, to provide a contact point for young scholars whose interests lie with the 17th and 18th centuries, and particularly to establish a Focus on Enlightenment Research at the Munich Centre for Book Studies in the mid term in cooperation with colleagues from the Munich Institute of German Philology and neighbouring disciplines.
