Through this Colloquium, we wish to explore the theory of substance and substantial forms, especially in connection with the moment 1678-1679. We want to see, both from an historical and systematical point of view, the continuity and the transformation of the young Leibniz’s ideas (1666-1679) to the mature Leibniz (1680-1695). We expect the papers to cover topics such as : the influences from other theories of substance (Aristotelian, Scolastics, Cartesian, Mechanist etc.); the most important steps of the elaboration of the theory of substance; the way how survived some elements until the works from the middle years, especially until the monadological view; the solution of the composition problem; the relationship between soul and body; the created substance and its role; the theological consequences of the composition problem; the view on the corporeal substance, and the relationship with the body and the organism; the nature of the body; the substance as subject and the way in which the early theory of substance influenced the mature theory of complete notion; the way in which the theory of substance influenced Leibniz’s logical and mathematical research etc.The place of the Colloquium: Bucharest.Confirmed speakers: Daniel Garber (Princeton University), Michel Fichant (Université Paris-Sorbonne), Roger Ariew (University of South Florida, Tampa, USA), Enrico Pasini (Universita di Torino, Italy), Andreas Blank (University Paderborn, Germany), Adrian Nita (University of Craiova, Romania), Stefano Di Bella (Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, Italy).The papers can be in English or French.Contact: Adrian Nita ( adriannita2010@yahoo.com )Web: http://www.adriannita.ro/index.php/ro/blog/57-craiova-colloquium-in-early-modern-philosophy
