We are deeply saddened by the passing of Letizia Panizza (†20 June), founding member of ISIH and renowned scholar of Italian Renaissance thought. Her legacy—on Stoicism, libertinism, and women’s intellectual culture—lives on in the 2025 Festschrift in her honour.

I had a great time presenting and discussing my paper on Marx's early conceptualizations of the human being alongside brilliant colleagues at ISIH 2025: "Women, Men, and other Animals" last week in Århus. @isih-blueskye.bsky.social

A slide from a powerpoint presentation with the title "Marx and the Human: From Static Anthropology towards a Materialist Post-Humanism" on a background composed of a depiction of Marx as Prometheus and Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.
