The "Descartes Laboratory" seminar is an online branch of the “Seminari Cartesiani di Villa Mirafiori”, organized by the Institute for the European Intellectual Lexicon and History of Ideas (Cnr-Iliesi) and La Sapienza Department of Philosophy.
The "Descartes Laboratory" is organized by Fabrizio Baldassarri and Simone Guidi, and it is planned to engage with the most recent works on Descartes as well as on 17th-century philosophy and natural philosophy connected with Cartesianism.
