27 April 2021 18:00-20:00 (UTC + 1) via Zoom. You are warmly invited to the upcoming session of the London Historiography of Philosophy Working Group, which will host a conversation with Catherine König-Pralong. Catherine König-Pralong, Professor at the EHESS (Centre Alexandre Koyré), has worked extensively on Medieval philosophy and Scholasticism, publishing numerous commentaries and translations (Henri de Gand, Gilles de Rome, Godefroid de Fontaine, Pierre de Jean Olivi, Dietrich de Freiberg, etc.) but also reflecting on, and questioning, the ‘Middle-Ages’ as a historiographical category. Her body of work analyses the emergence and formation of ‘modern’ forms of ‘rationality’ in the medieval era, from a broadly transdisciplinary perspective that encompasses not only the philosophical and religious, but also the cultural, political, or scientific spheres. In recent years, her research has focused on the geopolitical delimitations of the ‘history of philosophy’ in modernity. Her most recent book, La Colonie philosophique: Écrire l’histoire de la philosophie aux XVIIIe-XIXe siècles (2019) looks into the processes of ‘symbolic colonisation’ through which philosophers established their ‘philosophical colony’ in Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. For this session Catherine König-Pralong will discuss the following two recent articles of hers addressing the territorial, linguistic, geopolitical frontiers of European historiography of philosophy as a modern disciplinary formation:
• How Historians of Philosophy Invented Europe’s Philosophical Nature (2019)
• Entangled Philosophical Ideologies. The Language of Reason: From Modern French to Scholastic Latin (2017)
Both articles can be downloaded from our Drive. The Working Group has sent her a few preliminary questions as a way of opening up the conversation, which can also be found in the drive folder. If you would like to attend, please get in touch and we’ll add you to the mailing list where the Zoom link will be sent out.
