So, we could gain much from getting to know each other and exchanging ideas. When I returned I told Constance Blackwell of my thoughts, and suggested we hold a conference on scepticism in which the participants would be half Americans and Canadians, and half Latin Americans, all of whom knew enough English or Spanish to communicate with one another. We sought for a venue and some funds. I went to the University of California, Riverside, to talk to its new Dean of Humanities, Brian Copenhaver, whom I had gotten to know over the years as we both worked on problems of Renaissance philosophy.

At the meeting in the institute for the study of the history of philosophy and science I had the opportunity to meet and talk to some of the new younger scholars Guido Paganini, Guido Canziani and Anna Maria Baldi, were working on topics related to my own interests. These interactions always helped me focus and develop my ideas, and learn what others were doing. From Milan I went to a wonderful conference at Cortona on the first reception of Spinoza's ideas. Paulo Christofolini and Onarorio Nicastro of Pisa brought a group of us together to discuss the first reactions to Spinoza.
