Semaine PhiloMonaco 2026

The Monaco Philosophy Meetings ("Rencontres Philosophiques de Monaco") have set themselves the task of creating a “community” where philosophers’ words and ideas circulate freely among all, shedding light—even if only a faint ray—on the problems that the present age makes increasingly complex. With this in mind, from Wednesday, June 24, to Sunday, June 28, they are organizing the 2026 edition of PhiloMonaco Week ("Semaine PhiloMonaco"), during which numerous guest speakers will engage with the public and participate in conversations, book presentations, dialogues, and roundtable discussions.

The events are open to everyone.

"The dance barre is that object which divides space in two while at the same time uniting the artists who hold it. Since Aristophanes' myth up to the dance barre of "La Bayadère", can bodies do anything other than want to find the half that is missing from them to answer their desire?"

Jean-Christophe Maillot
