Since ideas and arguments are not limited to a specific textual format, the aim of this workshop is to explore the connections between the variety of academic modes of writing by interrogating whether the form has any impact on the theological/philosophical content, in what ways different discursive structures shape diverse meanings, and whether approaching a different genre can explain doctrinal discontinuity. Great attention will be paid to special cases of intertextuality, allowing us to reconsider the intellectual tradition of Viennese scholars from a more comprehensive perspective, in light of their own textual practices, which took not one but many written forms. 10.00 – IOANA CURUȚ (UBB-Cluj) Welcoming remarks Opening Lecture 10.15 – CHRISTOPHER D.
