Le cantique des créatures : monde, terre, création

The Canticle of Creatures: World, Earth, Creation

International Network in Philosophy of Religion (INPR) / Institut Catholique de Paris (ICP) Le grand Séminaire international de l’INPR se tiendra cette année à Perugia en Italie dans l’Hôtel Sacro Cuore situé en face d’Assisi. Ce séminaire intitulé Le cantique des créatures : monde, terre, création, sera l’occasion de composer une ode philosophique aux créatures. Suivant le Cantique des créatures de frère François, il interrogera le statut du monde, de notre terre et de la création pour aujourd’hui. Si les défis écologiques sont immenses en raison de la crise climatique, la voie ouverte par le Pape François dans son encyclique Laudato Si’ doit aussi trouver une réponse philosophique.

This year's INPR International Seminar will be held in Perugia, Italy, at the Hotel Sacro Cuore, situated just in front of Assisi. The seminar, entitled The Canticle of Creatures: World, Earth, Creation, will be an opportunity to compose a philosophical ode to creatures. Following Brother François Canticle of Creatures, it will question the status of the world, our earth and creation today. If the ecological challenges are immense because of the climate crisis, the path opened up by Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato Si' must also find a philosophical response.
