The Midwest Seminar in the History of Early Modern Philosophy is an 
informal 
group, formed to foster interaction among scholars of seventeenth and 
eighteenth century philosophy.  
 
This is a call for papers for our next meeting, Friday, Saturday and 
Sunday, 
May 1-3, 1998, at the Humanities Institute of the University of Chicago. We 
will then be meeting jointly with the Centre d'Etudes Cartesiennes 
(Universite de Paris IV). At least a portion of the meeting will be devoted 
to the general theme: "Passions of the Soul, Passions of the Body." 
However, 
papers are not limited to that topic, and submissions are invited for 
papers 
on any aspect of the philosophy of the early modern period (roughly 
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries).  
 
Please submit abstracts of maximum one page by February 15, 1998 to:
