A philo week-end in La Cité Nantes Congress Center
Les Rencontres de Sophie will this year be held in La Cité Nantes Congress Center with the following thematic « The people ».
Thematic’s presentation
Democracy is that strange political regime which combines the obviousness of its legitimacy to the obscurity of its source: the people. But who is this people? All the inhabitants of a territory? A homogeneous community linked by a language, a history, a culture? Does it only exist at the time of election or in the exercise of citizenship? Or as a mass opposing the elites, which is what populisms suggest, which we will also question? It will also be a question of reflecting on what we qualify as popular: a class, a culture, a literature, an art. On the horizon of these Rencontres: the conviction that the work of thought can contribute to a fairer construction of our common existence.
