J’ai le grand plaisir d’ouvrir la nouvelle édition du colloque de recherche de l’Institut de Philosophie de l’Université de Neuchâtel. Mon exposé s’intitule « La Métaphysique comme Science de la Réconciliation » et sera prononcé le 19 février à la Faculté des Lettres et Sciences Humaines.

I am pleased to announce that Fabrice Correia (UniGE) and I are organizing the fifth workshop of the European project “Diaphora”, to take place 12-13 December 2018 at the University of Neuchatel. This event includes many talks on the question of determinism and open choices.

See you there.

Ma première intervention au Collège de France, intitulée « La métaphysique comme science de la réconciliation », et prononcée à l’occasion du colloque « Les principes métaphysiques », est désormais disponible en vidéo (voir lien ci-dessous):

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.
