Philosophy Week in MonteCarlo

Philosophy Week in Monte Carlo from Tuesday, June 11 to Sunday, June 16, 2024

Philosophy Week in MonteCarlo, from Tuesday, June 11 to Sunday, June 16, 2024.

The goal is to create a “community” where the words and thoughts of philosophers circulate freely among everyone, illuminating, even if only with a faint light, the increasingly complex problems of the present time.

From Tuesday, June 11 to Sunday, June 16, 2024, numerous personalities will participate in conversations, interviews, round tables, dialogues with the public, and book presentations on the themes of Ecology, Education, Care, Women, and the Art of Living.
