I received this from Juergen Backhaus and thought members might  
be interested: 
 
Seventh Annual Heilbronn Symposium in Economics and the Social  
Sciences on Christian Freiherr von Wolff (1679-1754).  This  
symposium will be held from June 22 - 25, 1995. 
 
250 years ago, Christian Wolff received an imperial knighthood in  
recognition of his scholarly work.  Wolff had presented a system  
of political economy which he embedded into a Leipnizian general  
philosophical system.  He may have been the first scholar in  
Europe to have received such a high recognition on the basis of  
his scholarly work.  The purpose of this conference is threefold.  
 According to the Heibronn tradition, this seventh Heilbrunn  
Symposium in Economics and the Social Sciences will explore  
Wolff's work from the point of view of contemporary theory.   
Secondly, we want to ask whether Wolff's work stands up to the  
contemporary practical needs of policy and scholarship.  Thirdly,  
it is an important mission of the Heilbronn symposia to present  
the international community of scholars in political economy and  
the social sciences with the German language heritage in our  
discipline. 
 
The confernce will be held in Heilbronn on the Neckar (June 22 -2  
5, 1995).  The conference site is the traditional Schiesshaus at  
less than five minutes' distance from the railroad station.  On  
Thursday June 22, at four o'clock pm conference participants will  
gather at the big clock in front of the railroad station.  The  
tour will lead you to the site of the meeting, the traditional  
Schiesshaus, through high-points of the local history and  
geography of the city to the erstwhile Rathaus, where the tour  
will end.  Afterwards, we shall have dinner and a chance to get  
to know each other.
