The Center Leo Apostel (CLEA) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) has three open PhD positions in the philosophy and history of science. The selected candidates will study the history of anti-mathematics and anti-abstractionism in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Their research will be part of a broader project on resistance to Isaac Newton’s natural philosophy and the rise of the so-called "new science" during this period. The application deadline is 21 September 2025.

On June 8 1821, Franz-Peter Cassel, professor of botany and the second rector of the newly founded State University of Ghent, died. His 1819 rectoral address was an ardent plea for the study of the history of science, at the same time coloured by the views of his time. For Cassel, history of science taught how ideas had come about, how they had managed to overcome initial opposition, and how they had finally triumphed. He considered the history of science as a story of progress. No less important was the moral example of the persistent and determined scholar.
