Concordia Research Symposium in Philosophy Fall 2024

Research in Philosophy Proves to Be of Diverse and Wide-Ranging Interest

Built on millennia of inquiry, contemporary research in philosophy covers a broad swath of topics, from enduring questions about the nature of morality and human experience, to urgent questions about how to overcome oppression. Research conducted in Concordia’s Department of Philosophy reflects this diversity, and is highly regarded in the profession. This event presents samples of this research, offering in combination a taste of today’s cutting-edge philosophy.

About the Event
