SUMMARY:Libori Summer School 2025 The Early Works of Émilie Du Châtelet
DESCRIPTION:Libori Summer School 2025 –  The Early Works of Émilie Du Châtelet \nWe are excited to announce the Libori Summer School 2025\, dedicated to exploring the early works of Émilie Du Châtelet\, one of the most influential women in the history of philosophy and science. \nLed by Prof. Dr. Ruth Edith Hagengruber and organized by Dr. Jil Muller with the  support of Felix Grewe the  Summer School invites Master’s and PhD students from around the world to engage in a collaborative\, in-depth exploration of Du Châtelet’s early writings and intellectual legacy. \nThis year’s program offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with the first digital and historical-critical edition of Du Châtelet’s early manuscripts—produced in collaboration with the National Library of Russia\, Saint Petersburg. These texts\, rich with philosophical insight and annotated by Du Châtelet herself\, reveal how her thought shaped and was shaped by the major metaphysical debates of her time. \nMore information about the current running CfP and additional information about the speakers\, program\, venue and registration can be found on the conference’s webpage:\nhttps://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/libori-summer-school-2025/

SUMMARY:Research Colloquium - Dr. Pierpaolo Betti: Atomism and Monadism Combined: Continuities between Du Châtelet’s and Kant’s Accounts of Matter
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Most scholars emphasize the discontinuity in Kant’s early accounts of matter\, reinforcing the longstanding view that the young Kant explored various positions without committing to a specific one. More specifically\, commentators tend to read the shift from atomism to monadism or\, conversely\, from monadism to atomism\, as a turning point in Kant’s pre-critical account of matter. I challenge these readings by arguing that the young Kant did not conceive of atomism and monadism as mutually exclusive alternatives. Rather\, he developed an account of matter that combined monadism in metaphysics and a version of atomism known as corpuscularism in physics. I further show that\, prior to Kant\, Du Châtelet had already articulated such a hybrid account of matter by drawing on Wolffian ideas. By comparing Du Châtelet’s Institutions de physique with Kant’s early texts on natural philosophy\, I suggest that Du Châtelet’s views may have influenced Kant’s early account of matter more significantly than has generally been acknowledged in the literature. \nPierpaolo Betti obtained his PhD from KU Leuven in 2025. His doctoral research focused on the evolution of the concept of monad in Kant’s philosophy in light of the early reception of Leibniz’s monadology. As of November\, he will be a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists at Paderborn University\, where he will contribute to the historical-critical edition of Du Châtelet’s Institutions de physique. His publications include “Kant’s Mature Account of Monads as Objects in the Idea” (The Southern Journal of Philosophy\, 2024) and “The Influence of Leibniz’s New Essays on Kant’s Account of Impenetrability in the Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science” (book chapter in Leibniz in der klassischendeutschen Philosophie\, edited by Gregor Schäfer. Springer/Metzler\, forthcoming). \nThe Talk is part of the regular research colloquium held at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. The research colloquium is organised by the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. \nEverybody is welcome to attend! \nThe talk will start at 4 pm. \nRoom: TP8.1.46 \nBuilding: Technologiepark 8 \nAdress: Technologiepark 8\, 33098 Paderborn

SUMMARY:New Voices - Aneta Kohoutova: Through my absent body\, I perceive you.  Spatiality and female corporeality in public spaces
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Arendt Today\nThe Winter Term Talk Series 2025/26\, organised by Samantha Fazekas (Trinity College Dublin) and Maria Robaszkiewicz (UPB)\, is an online talk series dedicated to Hannah Arendt. \nArendt could aptly be described as a thinker of the crisis\, or perhaps rather of multiple crises. This motif is ever-present in her work and\, indeed\, it is a concept that is becoming ever-present in our own time. This is one of the reasons why academic and public interest in Arendt’s writings is currently skyrocketing. It is because so many politically acute challenges today call not for dogmatic\, but for critical and practical perspectives. In her works\, Arendt seems to be looking for crises: cracks in the fabric of the everyday\, which offer an opening\, enabling individuals to appear before each other and become political actors. It is not that action necessarily needs a crisis\, but a crisis definitely needs action. Crisis\, for Arendt\, is always ambivalent. It presupposes a destructive moment\, but also a constructive one. As she states\, “The opportunity\, provided by the very fact of crisis – which tears away façades and obliterates prejudices to explore and inquire into whatever has been laid bare of the essence of the matter.” A crisis only proves disastrous when the reaction to it consists of recourse to the ways of thinking prescribed by tradition\, answered in conventional\, schematic ways.  \nIn line with Arendt’s critical spirit\, and especially her concept of natality (every human’s capability of striking new beginnings in the world)\, this edition of the New Voces talk series introduces contributions of emerging Arendt scholars addressing issues of philosophic and political relevance for the world in which we live today. Topics include the female body\, speech and speechlessness\, dwelling and home\, meanings of property\, and natality in times of dictatorship. Everyone is welcome to join us in discussing Hannah Arendt’s relevance today! \nEveryone is welcome to attend. You will get the Zoom-Link here or at maria.robaszkiewicz@upb.de.

SUMMARY:Research Colloquium - Laura E. Herrera Castillo: Beyond Passive Reception: Liselotte von der Pfalz and G.W. Leibniz on F.M. van Helmont
DESCRIPTION:While the historiography of philosophy has increasingly integrated marginalized figures\, the philosophical exchanges between Leibniz and his female correspondents remain understudied. Beyond well-known exchanges with figures like Lady Damaris Masham and Caroline of Ansbach (within the Clarke-Dispute)\, significant correspondences still await scholarly attention. This paper examines a rich thread in Leibniz’s correspondence with Sophie of Hannover\, focusing on the critical intervention of Elisabeth Charlotte (Liselotte) von der Pfalz\, whose challenges prompted an exchange on the thought of Francis Mercury van Helmont. As the first study\, to my knowledge\, dedicated to this episode and to treating Liselotte’s letters as philosophical documents\, its primary aim is to present and analyze this correspondence. Through this analysis\, the study seeks to elucidate Liselotte’s distinct philosophical attitude and\, to a lesser extent\, Sophie’s. Ultimately\, this microhistory addresses a broader meta-philosophical question: What does this episode reveal about early modern intellectual networks and the strategies women used to engage in philosophical discourse from the margins of official academic life? \nDr. Laura Herrera Castillo currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Leibniz-Forschungsstelle in Münster and teaches as an adjunct lecturer (Lehrbeauftragte) in Philosophy at the University of Münster. Originally from Colombia\, she earned her doctorate on Philosophy in Granada\, Spain\, with a thesis on Leibniz’s concept of function across his mathematics\, physics\, and metaphysics. She has conducted research at the universities of Münster and Hannover and has held a visiting professorship at LMU Munich.E-Mail: laura.herreracastillo@uni-muenster.de \nThe Talk is part of the regular research colloquium held at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. \nEverybody is welcome to attend! \nThe talk will start at 4 pm. \nRoom: TP8.1.46 \nBuilding: Technologiepark 8 \nAdress: Technologiepark 8\, 33098 Paderborn

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab - The falls of Europe and Critical European Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:The falls of Europe and Critical European Philosophy \nTalk by Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab \nAssociate Professor of Philosophy \nDoha Institute for Graduate Studies \nMuch of critical European philosophy has emerged in response to situations of European collapse such as the rise of fascism\, World War II\, the annihilation of European Jewry\, and the Gaza war. To what extent was the non-European a consideration in those efforts of philosophical critical self-reflection? In other words\, to what extent was the history of Europe outside Europe part of that self-reflection? My talk examines this question by looking at a few samples of those efforts\, namely Adorno’s analysis of the “Authoritarian Personality\,” Sartre’s Existentialism and Levinas’s ethical prima philosophia. It compares them with readings of the same epoch and the same phenomena by philosophers from outside Europe\, such as Aimé Césaire\, W.E.B. Dubois and others. My talk ends with a few remarks on some of the findings of this contrapuntal reading and some reflections on the last episode of Europe’s fall in Gaza.

SUMMARY:New Voices - Magnus Ferguson: Speaking Others into the World
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In certain contexts unreciprocated speech can be an important form of care for persons who would otherwise find it difficult to retain their place in shared worlds of linguistic meaning\, such as those who lose capacities for linguistic expression due to illness. Philosophers and political theorists often underscore the importance of reciprocated speech for sharing in a human world. Hannah Arendt makes this point especially forcefully in The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition\, in which she suggests that ‘speechless’ persons are excluded from the linguistic ‘web of relationships’—they are\, she writes\, ‘literally dead to the world.’ I reconstruct several of Arendt’s analyses of speech and speechlessness\, and argue that they are prima facie exclusionary to nonspeaking persons. I also identify resources in Arendt’s corpus for theorizing unreciprocated speech as a mode of care that can offer listeners footholds in the linguistic spheres of meaning around them. \nMagnus Ferguson (Ph.D.) is a Collegiate Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago and a Harper-Schmidt Fellow in the University of Chicago Society of Fellows. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Boston College in 2023\, and his B.A. in Religion from Columbia University in 2014. \nMore about the New Voices Winter Term Talk Series 25: https://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/new-voices-talk-series/

Gerda Walther broaches the topic of social ontology\, i.e.\, a study of social communities. She carries out this task by using the phenomenological method\, that is\, a study of the first-person (both singular and plural) experience of being a part of a community\, what it feels like internally (and its constitutive elements)\, how it relates to other individuals or other communities\, and how unifications between individiuals and communities or between communities take place. \nThe book is an important contribution to the phenomenology of intersubjectivity or the study of social ontology. Social ontology has been an important and fruitful field of research in contemporary social theory\, cognitive science\, and other disciplines. It will be a crucial contribution to current research. \n\n\n\nPioneering study of the nature of the social world\nAuthor was student of Edmund Husserl\nImportant work of early phenomenology\n\n  \nAbout the translators: \nSebastian Luft is Professor of Philosophy at Paderborn University\, Germany. Rodney K.B. Parker is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at King’s University College\, Western University\, Ontario\, Canada. \n\n  \nEverybody is welcome to attend! \nThe talk will start at 4 pm. \nRoom: TP8.1.46 \nBuilding: Technologiepark 8 \nAdress: Technologiepark 8\, 33098 Paderborn

SUMMARY:New Voices - Catherine Koekoek: Towards an architecture of democratic infrastructures
DESCRIPTION:Hanna Arendt Today\nThe Winter Term Talk Series 2025/26\, organised by Samantha Fazekas (Trinity College Dublin) and Maria Robaszkiewicz (UPB)\, is an online talk series dedicated to Hannah Arendt. \nArendt could aptly be described as a thinker of the crisis\, or perhaps rather of multiple crises. This motif is ever-present in her work and\, indeed\, it is a concept that is becoming ever-present in our own time. This is one of the reasons why academic and public interest in Arendt’s writings is currently skyrocketing. It is because so many politically acute challenges today call not for dogmatic\, but for critical and practical perspectives. In her works\, Arendt seems to be looking for crises: cracks in the fabric of the everyday\, which offer an opening\, enabling individuals to appear before each other and become political actors. It is not that action necessarily needs a crisis\, but a crisis definitely needs action. Crisis\, for Arendt\, is always ambivalent. It presupposes a destructive moment\, but also a constructive one. As she states\, “The opportunity\, provided by the very fact of crisis – which tears away façades and obliterates prejudices to explore and inquire into whatever has been laid bare of the essence of the matter.” A crisis only proves disastrous when the reaction to it consists of recourse to the ways of thinking prescribed by tradition\, answered in conventional\, schematic ways.  \nIn line with Arendt’s critical spirit\, and especially her concept of natality (every human’s capability of striking new beginnings in the world)\, this edition of the New Voces talk series introduces contributions of emerging Arendt scholars addressing issues of philosophic and political relevance for the world in which we live today. Topics include the female body\, speech and speechlessness\, dwelling and home\, meanings of property\, and natality in times of dictatorship. Everyone is welcome to join us in discussing Hannah Arendt’s relevance today! \nEveryone is welcome to attend. You will get the Zoom-Link here or at maria.robaszkiewicz@upb.de.

SUMMARY:75 Years German Society for Philosophy/75 Jahre Deutsche Gesellschaft für Philosophie
DESCRIPTION:Thinking Europe Anew. \nSeventy-five years ago\, Germany joined the Council of Europe. Seventy-five years ago\, the German Society for Philosophy was founded. We are celebrating this coincidence with our anniversary event.\nThe ideals of the Council of Europe—rule of law\, human rights\, and democracy—are the result of centuries of philosophical reflection and debate. The European idea and the universal values it embodies cannot be understood without the great European philosophical tradition.\nThe motto of the anniversary celebration of the German Society for Philosophy is therefore: Rethinking Europe’s Philosophical Tradition in Light of Contemporary Challenges. \nPrior registration required\nHistoric Town Hall Paderborn\nRoom: Main Council Chamber (1st Floor)\nRathausplatz 1\, 33098 Paderborn \nFurther information: DGPhil \n————— \nEuropa neu denken. \nVor 75 Jahren wurde Deutschland in den Europarat aufgenommen. Vor 75 Jahren wurde die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Philosophie gegründet. Diese Koinzidenz würdigen wir mit unserer Jubiläumsfeier.\nDie Ideale des Europarates\, Rechtsstaatlichkeit\, Menschenrechte und Demokratie\, sind das Ergebnis jahrhundertelanger Auseinandersetzungen. Die europäische Idee und die von ihr getragenen Universalien sind ohne die große europäische philosophische Tradition nicht zu verstehen.\nDas Motto der Festveranstaltung zum 75-jährigen Jubiläum der Deutschen Philosophischen Gesellschaft lautet daher: Europas philosophische Tradition angesichts aktueller Herausforderungen neu denken. \nVorherige Anmeldung erforderlich\nHistorisches Rathaus Paderborn\nRaum: Großer Sitzungssaal (1.

SUMMARY:New Voices - Elsa Siu Lonzas: Natality as a formative structure in Hannah Arendt’s work. A phenomenological approach  to the question of the university in times of dictatorship
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Arendt Today\nThe New Voices Talk Series continues this winter with a lecture dedicated to Hannah Arendt and is organized by Samantha Fazekas (Trinity College Dublin) & Maria Robaszkiewicz (Paderborn University). \nTalk: Natality as a formative structure in Hannah Arendt’s work. A phenomenological approach to the question of the university in times of dictatorship by Elsa Siu Lanzas (University of Costa Rica) \nAbstract: \nThis paper is guided by Hannah Arendt’s phenomenological approach to education\, arguing that a university undergoing dictatorial intervention fractures one of the structures of formation: natality. I first review the possibilities the author grants to the concept of ‘natality’ for thinking about the relationship between education and formation. Then I present an approximation to Arendt’s own understanding of the university. Finally\, I develop a description of the forced closure of the Universidad Centroamericana in Nicaragua and\, regarding the possibilities of Arendt’s conceptual framework\, I seek to provide some of the aspects that\, due to the university’s fragile situation\, ends up limiting the formation. \nAbout the speaker: \nElsa Siu Lanzas (Dra. phil.) is visiting professor and researcher specializing in phenomenology and the philosophy of education\, trained at the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional de Colombia and the University of Costa Rica. Her work focuses on questions of passivity\, embodiment\, and philosophical formation\, including the role of the body in thinking and teaching. She has published on Husserl\, Patočka\, and philosophical pedagogy\, contributing studies on responsibility\, memory\, and educational challenges in Latin American contexts. \nEveryone is welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture - Kristin Käuper: „What Can We Learn about Sexual Orientation from Asexuality?“
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture in the Seminar “Feminist Perspectives on Sexuality” – A seminar offered within the Teaching Area on Heterogeneity – Lecturer: Ana Rodrigues\nKristin Käuper (University of Leeds): The Invisible Orientation: What Can We Learn about Sexual Orientation fromAsexuality? \nAbout the Speaker: \nKristin Käuper studied at the University of Paderborn and completed her Master’s dissertation at the University of St Andrews on Asexuality and Sexual Orientation. She is currently pursuing her PhD at the Centre for Love\, Sex\, and Relationships at the University of Leeds\, where sheresearches the philosophical dimensions of asexuality and aromanticism. Kristin is also the founder and organiser of the Aromanticism& Asexuality Research Network. \nAbout the Lecture: \nWhat does it actually mean to have a sexual orientation? Philosophical theories often define sexual orientation in termsof desire or behaviour – yet this approach proves insufficientonce we take asexuality seriously as a sexual orientation. Asexual people experience little or no sexual attraction toothers\, revealing that desire\, behaviour\, and attraction are not the same thing. This talk explores how asexuality challengesour understanding of sexual orientation – and argues that weshould instead view it as a disposition to experience sexual attraction. \nThis perspective has far-reaching implications for how we: \n\nconceptualise sexuality\,\ndistinguish between sexual\, romantic\, and platonicattraction\,\nand determine the place these forms of attraction occupyin society.\n\n\nALL INTERESTED PERSONS ARE WARMLY INVITED TO ATTEND!\n_______________________ \nGerman Version: \nGastvortrag im Seminar „Feministische Perspektiven auf Sexualität“ – Ein Seminarangebot im Lehrbereich Heterogenität – Leitung: Ana Rodrigues\nKristin Käuper (University of Leeds): Die unsichtbare Orientierung: Was können wir von Asexualität über sexuelle Orientierung lernen? \nÜber die Vortragende: \nKristin Käuper hat an der Universität Paderborn studiert und ihre Masterarbeit an der University of St Andrews zum Thema Asexualität und sexuelle Orientierung verfasst. Derzeit promoviert sie am Centre for Love\, Sex\, and Relationships der University of Leeds zu den philosophischen Dimensionen von Asexualität und Aromantik. Zudem ist sie Gründerin und Organisatorin des Aromanticism& Asexuality Research Networks. \nÜber den Vortrag: \nWas bedeutet es eigentlich\, eine sexuelle Orientierung zu haben? Philosophische Theorien definieren sie meist über Begehren oder Verhalten – doch diese Sichtweise greift zu kurz\, wenn wir Asexualität als sexuelle Orientierung ernst nehmen. Asexuelle Menschen empfinden wenig\, bis keine sexuelle Anziehung zu anderen und machen sichtbar\, dass Begehren\, Verhalten und Anziehung nicht identisch sind. Der Vortrag zeigt\, wie Asexualität unser Verständnis sexueller Orientierung herausfordert – und warum wir sie besser als Disposition zur Erfahrung sexueller Anziehung verstehen sollten. \nDies hat weitreichende Konsequenzen dafür\, \n\nwie wir Sexualität konzeptualisieren\,\nwie wir sexuelle\, romantische und platonische Anziehung voneinander abgrenzen\,\nund welchen gesellschaftlichen Stellenwert wir ihnen zuweisen.\n\n\nALLE INTERESSIERTEN SIND WILLKOMMEN!

SUMMARY:Anniversary of Émilie Du Châtelet - Online Event
DESCRIPTION:Du Châtelet’s Eclectic Laboratory\n\nL’Expérience est le bâton que la nature a donné à nous autres aveugles\, pour nousconduire dans nos recherches ~ Du Châtelet\, Institutions de physique\, Avant-propos \n\nTo celebrate Émilie du Châtelet’s 319th birthday\, the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists invites you to take a deep dive into the empirical foundations of her Institutions de physique. The event is organised by Ruth E. Hagengruber and Pierpaolo Betti. \nWhile Du Châtelet’s engagement with major figures like Descartes\, Newton\, and Leibniz is well documented\, her work also draws extensively on a wide range of lesser-known experimentalists of her time. This event shifts the focus to the “eclectic laboratory” embedded in the Institutions and the remarkable variety of experiments she references. The program will feature an introductory talk by Pierpaolo Betti\, with responses by Clara Carus and Christian Henkel\, followed by a discussion with all participants. Join us as we investigate how Du Châtelet intagrates these findings to construct and support her natural philosophy. \nRegistration for participation is required: https://indico.uni-paderborn.de/event/150/

SUMMARY:Research Colloquium - Patricia Grill: Olga Hahn-Neurath im Kontext des Neurath-Kreises / des Wiener Kreises
DESCRIPTION:Olga Hahn zwischen Zugehörigkeit und Ausschluss \nVorgestellt wird ein Ausschnitt aus einem laufenden Dissertationsprojekt\, der der Sichtbarmachung der Philosophin Olga Hahn gewidmet ist. Hahn gehörte zu den wenigen weiblichen Mitgliedern des Wiener Kreises und promovierte 1911 als erst dritte Frau im Fach Philosophie an der Universität Wien. Dennoch ist ihre eigene philosophische Stimme in der Forschung weitgehend in den Hintergrund getreten.\nAusgehend von biografischen Quellen und späteren Erinnerungen soll in diesem Vortrag gezeigt werden\, dass Hahn zwar hohe intellektuelle Anerkennung genoss\, institutionell jedoch nur begrenzt verankert war. Im Zentrum steht die Frage\, wie sich diese ambivalente Position – im Diskurs präsent\, aber kaum dokumentiert – erklären lässt und welche epistemischen wie sozialen Bedingungen dazu beigetragen haben\, dass ihr Denken nur fragmentarisch überliefert ist.\nZiel ist es\, Olga Hahn als eigenständige Akteurin der frühen Wissenschafts- und Ideengeschichte sichtbar zu machen und zugleich die strukturellen Grenzen philosophischer Überlieferung kritisch zu reflektieren. \nDer Vortrag ist Teil des regulären Research Colloquiums des Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. Das Research Colloquium wird vom Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists organisiert. \nAlle Interessierten sind herzlich willkommen! \nDer Vortrag beginnt um 16:00 Uhr. \nRaum: TP8.1.46 \nGebäude: Technologiepark 8 \nAdresse: Technologiepark 8\, 33098 Paderborn

SUMMARY:Research Colloquium - Minji Lee:  The Medieval Womb - Hildegard of Bingen’s Views on the Female Reproductive Body
DESCRIPTION:Minji Lee will present her newly published book The Medieval Womb: Hildegard of Bingen’s views on the female reproductive body. as part of the regular Research Colloquium at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. \nLee\, M. (2025). The Medieval Womb: Hildegard of Bingen’s views on the female reproductive body. Arc Humanities Press. \nThis study of the twelfth-century German abbess Hildegard of Bingen examines her understanding of the womb through her medical work Cause et cure and visionary work Scivias. Medieval tradition viewed female bodies negatively\, seeing their porous nature as easily polluted. Women were considered weaker and more vulnerable to spiritual invasion. This volume shows how Hildegard’s revolutionary understanding of the female reproductive body reversed these assumptions. She connected female bodily flows not to pollution but to purification\, presenting menstruation and reproductive fluids as vital components in natural cleansing and healing processes. The book concludes with a chapter showing how Hildegard’s concept of beneficial bodily flow remains relevant in modern Western and non-Western alternative medicine\, in which female bodily porosity and fluid exchange continue to be understood as sources of regenerative power. \nMinji Lee is Assistant Professor of Religion and Medical Humanities at Montclair State University\, New Jersey. She holds a PhD from Rice University\, and specializes in medicine in relation to cultural practices\, women’s health\, and reproductive issues. \nEverybody is welcome to attend! \nThe talk will start at 4 pm. \nRoom: TP8.1.46 \nBuilding: Technologiepark 8 \nAdress: Technologiepark 8\, 33098 Paderborn \n  \nOr via Zoom: https://uni-paderborn-de.zoom-x.de/j/69114807044?pwd=V7I83cOcvWR1001l4FbcVdywNR2zFF.1

SUMMARY:Talk by Pierpaolo Betti - Du Châtelet’s Influence on Kant’s Early Response to Newtonianism
DESCRIPTION:February 26th\, 5.00-6.30 pm CET (Zoom)  \nAbstract: \nThis paper explores the influence of Du Châtelet’s Institutions physiques (1740–42) on Kant’s early natural philosophy. While recent scholarship has shown that both authors adopted a critical stance toward Newton’s ideas\, little research has been devoted to comparing their responses to the Newtonian paradigm. Yet\, as early as 1749\, Kant expressed sincere appreciation for Du Châtelet’s work in his treatise on living forces. In this paper\, I examine Du Châtelet’s and Kant’s critiques of the speculative strand of Newtonianism that goes back to the Opticks and was further developed by Newton’s followers. More specifically\, I compare their objections to John Keill’s highly influential account of matter and attraction\, which played an important role in shaping eighteenth-century speculative Newtonianism. On the basis of the similarities in their arguments\, I contend that Du Châtelet’s critical engagement with Keill’s work informed Kant’s early dynamical theory of matter. This paper thus highlights the often-overlooked yet crucial role of Du Châtelet in the German reception of Newtonian ideas. \nAbout the Speaker: \nPierpaolo Betti is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists at Paderborn University. He is currently responsible for the commentary on the historical-critical edition of Émilie Du Châtelet’s Institutions de Physique. \nHis primary research interests lie in modern philosophy\, with a particular focus on the interrelation between the history of metaphysics and the history of science. He obtained his doctoral degree from KU Leuven in 2025. His doctoral research examined the evolution of the concept of the monad in Kant’s philosophy in light of the early reception of Leibniz’s monadology. \nRespondent: Aaron Wells (Metropolitan State University of Denver) \nPlease register through the website in order to receive the Zoom link: https://hiw.kuleuven.be/cmprpc/events/leuvenseminarinclassicalgermanphilosophy/program2026spring \nEvents are recorded and made available on the YouTube platform of the research group. \n  \n
