Join Us for a Unique Café Philosophique!
We are delighted to invite you to an extraordinary evening at our Philosophical Café, where three specialists on Spinoza will explore and discuss the profound influence of Baruch Spinoza, a 17th-century Jewish philosopher. This engaging discussion will be complemented by a live concert of 17th-century baroque music that Spinoza himself would have enjoyed.
Four thinkers will join us for this exclusive evening:
- Professor and Jesuit Henri Laux (Loyola Faculty, Paris)
- PhD candidate Arnaud Fredette-Lussier (UdeM)
- PhD candidate Thomas Minguy (McGill)
- James McGill Professor Carlos Fraenkel, Depts. of Philosophy & Jewish Studies
Event Highlights:
- In-depth Discussion: Gain insights from three Spinoza experts as they explore his philosophical impact.
- 17th-Century Concert: Enjoy a live performance of music from Spinoza’s era, transporting you back in time by Students from the Early Music Program at McGill University.
- Bar: Enjoy drinks at an extra cost.
Don’t miss this unique blend of philosophy, music, and ambiance. Reserve now to secure your spot for an evening of intellectual and cultural enrichment, and a journey into the past!
We look forward to seeing you there!
