the moment it is still not entirely clear how methods from data science will contribute to increasing our understanding of the history of human thought. It is, however, imperative to seriously consider and study the possibilities of these methods as applied to historical data across different periods and geographical locations. This two-day workshop brings together scholars of the history of philosophy and practitioners of digital humanities to discuss the needs and possibilities of computational methods.

For this workshop a set of different scholars will discuss how they see the use of digital methods in their research. We will also have presentations that highlight different approaches to applying computational methods to the study of history of philosophy. The idea is to improve our understanding of how methods of data and text mining can be useful in the study of intellectual history and the history of philosophy. These demonstrations will be commented by invited discussants with a different background.

NB! Reading material: every presenter has suggested one article that the participants of the workshop should read before the workshop to orient towards different sessions.

This workshop is the second symposium on Computational Approaches to Intellectual History and the History of Philosophy organised by Helsinki Computational History Group. In the Spring 2017, the Never Mine the Mind? -seminar focused on demonstrating exploratory work necessary for an understanding of how methods of data and text mining can be useful in the study of intellectual history and the history of philosophy. Earlier we have also organised a conference on Conceptual Change – Digital Humanities Case Studies, 7–8 December 2015.
