The making of the Humanities - First International Conference on the History of the Humanities. Organized under the auspices of the European Science Foundation (ESF) and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).

This conference aims at bringing together scholars and historians of the various humanities disciplines to draw the outlines for a comparative history of the humanities. Although there exist separate histories of single humanities disciplines, a comparative history would satisfy a long-felt need, and fill a conspicuous gap in intellectual history.
