Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s researcher Will Kymlicka, Canada Research Chair in Political Philosophy, has earned the Royal Society of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s (RSC) Pierre Chauveau Medal for his distinguished contribution to knowledge in the humanities.
Dr. Kymlicka is amongst the top three influential political philosophers in the English-speaking world and has helped pioneer two major fields of research: the normative foundations of minority group rights within liberal democracies and the place of animals within political theory.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Like other Western democracies, Canada is a 카지노 게임 컬렉션liberal democracy,카지노 게임 컬렉션 which means we put a strong focus on the rights of individual citizens,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Kymlicka. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The Canadian constitution also recognizes some group rights, but these have often been seen as anomalous, and perhaps even dangerous to liberal values. My work has tried to understand how we can make room in liberal philosophy for the rights of groups, and in particular the rights of minorities.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Kymlicka is currently researching we govern the lives of animals in our society.
카지노 게임 컬렉션This is not only an urgent moral question on its own terms, but also central to the climate crisis, biodiversity and public health. We카지노 게임 컬렉션ve established an animal politics research group here at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, focusing on how to ensure animals are represented in democratic politics,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I think this will be a central issue for the future of political philosophy, and for the fate of the world as a whole.카지노 게임 컬렉션
