Dr Mogens Lærke
I am a senior researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), associated at the research centre IHRIM at ENS de Lyon and the Maison Française d’Oxford (MFO). Before joining the CNRS in 2013, I held positions at Aarhus University and the Carlsberg Foundation, Tel Aviv University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Aberdeen. Having done my undergraduate training in Denmark, I received my PhD from the University of Paris in 2004.
I am interested in early modern philosophy, science, political theory, and intellectual history. I have written a lot on Leibniz and Spinoza, but also published on many other known and unknown figures in the early modern period. From 2023 to 2027, I am the principal investigator of the ERC Advanced project entitled The Common Notion: Science and Consensus in the Seventeenth Century (NOTCOM). You can learn more about this project about group epistemology and collaborative methods and practices in early modern natural philosophy by clicking on the NOTCOM link below.
In Oxford, the NOTCOM project collaborates with the Centre for the History of Science, Medicine and Technology, the Oxford Centre for Intellectual History, and the All Souls Intellectual History Seminar, among others. The team organises conferences, seminars, and reading groups dedicated to various topics in early modern philosophy and science. Our events are open for all and I am always happy to discuss with students on all levels who take an interest in the work we do.
Outside my work on NOTCOM, I am a member of the management committee of the British Society for the History of Philosophy, previously as secretary of the society, currently as co-opted in my capacity as managing editor of the BSHP New Texts in the History of Philosophy series from Oxford University Press. Since 2009, I also co-organise the Scottish Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy, an annual workshop for new work in early modern philosophy circulating between Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Saint Andrews.
I became a senior associate of Pembroke College in 2023.
