Themes from Early Analytic Philosophy is an online seminar series organized by Michele Contente (Czech Academy of Sciences), Ludovica Conti (University of Vienna), and Caterina Sisti (University of Turin). The aim of the series is to bring together scholars whose work addresses topics central to the early analytic tradition, is inspired by the work of major philosophers in this tradition, or offers historically grounded reconstructions of the contributions of key figures.
We understand Early Analytic Philosophy in a relatively broad sense, not limited to the “golden trio” of Frege, Russell, and Wittgenstein, but also encompassing philosophers and philosophical work around the turn of the twentieth century that can reasonably be understood as analytic, either through their use of formal tools and rigorous argumentation or through their thematic focus on logic, philosophy of science, philosophy of logic, philosophy of language and philosophy of mathematics.
Each year or semester, the series focuses on a specific topic around which the talks are organised. The topic for the Spring Semester 2026 is Generality and Generalisations (see the full schedule).
Talks take place online once a month on Fridays, usually at 11:00 CET (please always check the schedule, as time changes may occur). Join us!
