Bringing philosophers into productive engagement with scientists, policy makers and the public.
ABOUT US
The challenges facing contemporary society are complex and multi-faceted, and do not fall neatly within disciplinary boundaries.
The Rotman Institute of Philosophy, founded in 2008, is a global leader in interdisciplinary research and training that responds to these challenges.
Inspired by Joseph Rotman’s recognition of the distinctive capacity of philosophy to clarify thinking about complex questions and to bridge intellectual divides, the Institute brings the benefits of philosophical thinking to the scientific community and the broader public.
