Family Reimagined: Beyond Boundaries

How does family shape society and the individual? Dive into a new dialogue with Sophie Galabru and Simon Brunfaut on redefining familial ties.

In a thought-provoking session with philosopher Sophie Galabru, alongside Simon Brunfaut, we explore the enduring yet evolving concept of family. Galabru's insights challenge us to consider not just the personal aspect of familial bonds but their broader societal impact. From the traditional to the transformative, 'Faire famille: une philosophie des liens' lays the groundwork for a discussion that transcends conventional boundaries. What roles do love, freedom, and economic realities play in shaping our understanding of family today? How can we navigate the complexities of inheritance, education, and the politicization of family life to foster a more inclusive, supportive community? Join us for an illuminating conversation that promises to redefine the essence of family, followed by an exclusive book signing.
