Held at Higher Institute of Philosophy (ISP) of the UCL. This Chair, awarded each year since 1952 to eminent colleagues recognized internationally for their remarkable contribution to philosophy (https://uclouvain.be/fr/instituts-recherche/isp/chaires-et-prix.html) is not a way for the ISP to honour researchers for their scientific merits, a way of marking the institution’s attachment to philosophy in the making and to associate it with its teaching, for the benefit of its students.
