Time: 02:10 pm
Location: 2203 SSH ( The Andrew Room)
Professor Keller’s book project, tentatively entitled The Experimental Century: Curating the Early German Enlightenment, looks at how late 17th-century German academics sought to reign in, winnow, connect and re-order three previous epistemic cultures: the court culture explored in her 2015 book Knowledge and the Public Interest 1575-1725, mercantile and medical collecting networks, and pansophic erudition.
