In a joint effort by philosophers in Finland and Hungary, the Seminar was founded to promote international cooperation among scholars of seventeenth and eighteenth century philosophy. The previous meetings were held in 2013 in CEU, and in 2014 in the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. This will be the third annual meeting in a continuous series of seminars.
