Europè, Center for Practical Philosophy

Europe has always been an ideal, whose reality (political, cultural, geographical) only partially fulfills it.
This gap between ideality and reality is exemplarily implemented in practical philosophy, which feeds on it: for practical philosophy would not exist if there were no critical tension between the reality of what is and the ideality of what is not. This is why the Centre Europè considers itself as a privileged place for critical reflection on criticism.

What are the principles that underpin criticism in general? Should the criteria for criticism be universal? Or can they simply be anthropological?
Yet what kind of anthropology would they fall under? Are they based on reason, history or particularity? What is the philosophical strategy for establishing them?

Through its reading groups, workshops, study days and publications, the Centre Europè is dedicated to all facets of practical philosophy as a critical philosophy, tensed, like Europe, between reality and the ideal.
