The heart of this course will be a close reading of “the most unread famous book in the Western world.", Newton’s Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis (first published 1687). In this course, we will read as much as we can of Newton's text, by focusing on how mathematical, and especially geometrical, methods involve a new world vision and a new practice of science.

Ph.D. students, post docs, members of staff, and senior colleagues from other philosophy departments will report on their work in progress. Furthermore, promissing new philosophical articles and parts of new philosophical books will be studied.

The colloquium is devoted to the introduction of new research in science studies, broadly construed.

This course will reflect on historical and contemporary relations between science and the state. Through various case studies, we will inquire how these two institutions shaped each other. The case studies will cover various scientific disciplines.

This course will review some structuralist and post-structuralist approaches to signs and knowledge. It will start from the French structuralist tradition, continue with the "1968 thinkers", and conclude with feminist and queer critiques of knowledge that rely on this tradition. The theories studied in class will be evaluated in terms of their application to science studies.
