For this fourth season, the Workshops of the Monaco Philosophical Meetings are addressing the theme of “The Human”.

Each month, eminent philosophers and speakers from various fields are invited to give public presentations on a series of high-level reflections on issues related to the theme chosen for the year.

The first meeting, “Human Being,” took place yesterday at the Variety Theatre.  Cynthia Fleury, philosopher and psychoanalyst, and Christian Godin, philosopher, debated the definition of what it is to be human, what it means, what determines it, its basis and what constitutes it.

The Monaco Philosophical Meetings association, founded by Charlotte Casiraghi, Joseph Cohen, Robert Maggiori and Raphael Zagury-Orly, aims to promote philosophy and hold monthly meetings at which well-known invited speakers can enlarge upon, discuss and share ideas on the year’s theme.

Note that the set of lectures given at the Workshops for the 2017-2018 season, on the theme of “Violence,” was published yesterday, 11 October 2018, and that the annual review, “Le Cahier des Rencontres Philosophiques de Monaco” No. 4 will be published in January 2019.
