Je profite de ce post pour annoncer que j’ai le grand honneur d’intégrer Le Groupe d’Etudes en Métaphysique (GEM) du Professeur Claudine Tiercelin (Collège de France). Je me réjouis de présenter mon article « How is the Asymmetry between the Open Future and the Fixed Past to be characterized? » lors de la prochaine rencontre du GEM, le 28 novembre 2018.

As part of the DIAPHORA project, I am starting a three-month internship in the non-governmental organization Search for Common Ground, based in Brussels (Belgium).

This organization partners with people around the world to ignite shared solutions to destructive conflicts. It works at all levels of society to build sustainable peace through three main avenues: dialogue, media and community.

I am very proud to announce that I have been invited to give a talk at the conference “Les principes métaphysiques”, to take place 2-3 October at the Collège de France, Paris (France).

My talk, entitled “La métaphysique comme science de la réconciliation”, is scheduled on October 3 at 15:10 in the amphitheatre Maurice Halbwachs – Marcelin Berthelot.
