In particular, we s eek contributions that delve into, but are not limited to, the following is sues: \n\n - Mechanical Philosophy and its Pre-History: What distinguishes early mechanical philosophers such as Descartes, Hobbes, and Gassendi from other earlier or contemporary alternatives to Aristotelianism? To what exte nt did later mechanical philosophers adopt, transform, or distance themselv es from these alternative approaches in shaping their own conceptual framew orks? \n - Engaging with Aristotelianism: The rupture with the Aristotelian -scholastic tradition is canonically regarded as one of the defining featur es of mechanical philosophy. Yet this rupture did not manifest uniformly. W ith which specific Aristotelian traditions did the mechanical philosophers engage? Did this break always entail outright rejection, or did it sometime s involve processes of appropriation, transformation, or even reconciliatio n? What rhetorical, argumentative, and strategic devices did mechanical phi losophers employ to position themselves in relation to Aristotelianism?\n - Recovering Antiquity: Examining how mechanical philosophers invoked the au thority of ancient sources in establishing illustrious precedents in natura l philosophy. \n - Mechanical Philosophy and Mechanics: Exploring the conte sted relationship between mechanical philosophy and the science of mechanic s. How did quantitative problem-solving and the analysis of machines intera ct with, diverge from, and influence causal mechanical explanations? \n - S haping the Tradition: Exploring how different generations of mechanical phi losophers, spanning from the early 17th century to the early 18th century, engage with the intellectual legacy of their predecessors. Do their critiqu es and reassessments indicate an internal evolution within the tradition of mechanical philosophy, or do they represent a rupture and opposition? \n - Mechanical Philosophy in Context: How did technological innovations, new i nstitutional frameworks, and emerging publishing practices influence the de velopment and transformation of mechanical philosophy? Should it be underst ood as a transnational tradition, or else do local, national, and social fa ctors significantly shape its form and content? \n - Matter and Motion at S take: Investigating the ways in which later mechanical philosophers dealt w ith the rise and growing prominence of alternative research programmes, mos t notably Newtonianism.If you wish to contribute, please send a brief CV, a n expression of interest, and an abstract (approx. 300 words) to this email no later than 15 June 2026.
