Annual Meeting of The Canadian Philosophical Association
Welcome!
The 2025 Canadian Philosophical Association annual meeting took place at George Brown College in Toronto, as part of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, marking the first time it was hosted at a college. The Congress ran from 30 May to 6 June, with the CPA meeting taking place from 1-4 June 2025.
We offered concurrent colloquia and symposia, along with a plenary keynote address, sponsored by the Canadian Journal of Philosophy. For the third consecutive year, special sessions featured pairs of prominent philosophers engaging in discussions on topics of mutual interest.
