Description
These constitute the core of the event. These smaller gatherings of pupils and teachers in different rooms happens simultaneously.
Pupils taking part in the workshops have to write a paper presenting their commentary on a philosophical text of their own choosing, preferably making a link to the theme of HYBRIDITY. The theme or topic of the paper may be chosen from one of the following:
Ethics
Theory of Knowledge
Politics and Society
Philosophical Anthropology
Other domains
The participant’s paper may consist of the following:
A substantial excerpt from a philosophical text;
A commentary on this text which should explain the main claim and question it tries to answer;
A counterpoint or counter-argument to the text’s main claim (this can either be the writer’s own reflections or another viewpoint from another thinker/field of study).
A paper can be delivered in either French or English. Each workshop lasts for 1 hour. There should be at least 15 min. for a plenary “question and answer” portion of the session. Each session is managed by a pupil chairperson (with the support of a teacher).

Titre: Corps et hybridité : corps-machine ou corps-nature?
Description: La question de l'hybridité du corps est ancienne. Dans la tradition dualiste, la chair s'hybride avec l'âme en vue d'aider l'humain à quitter son état naturel. Cette hybridité poussée à l'extrême permettrait de modifier le corps, jusqu'à en faire un corps-machine, voire un mutant.Une autre voie serait celle du...

Titre: Les religion hybrides
Go to contribution page

Loin d'être cloisonnées comme le sont les monothéismes, les religions polythéistes s'influencent, s'interpénètrent, se combinent. Exemples significatifs (parmi d'autres) : la religion gallo-romaine, l'hindouisme, la religion chinoise, la shintoïsme japonais, le caodaïsme vietnamien ou encore... -
