Event

The opening will mark the beginning of the call for papers of the 2020 edition. We will have the chance to hear from our guests of honor, François Jaquet, Valéry Giroux and Virginie Simoneau-Gilbert in a conference on animal ethics.

Philopolis wants to promote the place of philosophical research at the heart of the Montreal community, as well as the role of the various actors who contribute to the advancement of knowledge. As a privileged place for research on animal ethics, the research done in Montreal certainly has a worldwide impact. Our guests of honor, students-researchers actively involved in their field, participate in the development of these researches in animal ethics. Philopolis also wants to inform the public and the philosophy students on the different strategic research groups, such as the CRÉ or the GRÉEA where our panelists come from, which can contribute to support new researchers in the advancement of their career.
