The Radboud Center for Philosophy and Society (RCPS) positions itself directly at the intersection of philosophy and society. The RCPS distinguishes itself through its direct philosophical engagement with the empirical sciences, social and political stakeholders and concrete societal issues.
Radboud Center for Philosophy and Society
Highlights
Main lines of research
The work of the philosophers that collaborate in the RCPS is centered on the ethics and political philosophy of:
- Race
- Democracy and its contestations
- Health and health care

Engaged philosophy
The RCPS bring together ethicists and political philosophers that engage with contemporary societal developments. The center’s mission is to expand the classical boundaries of philosophy and engage with other disciplines, such as medicine and health care, politics, sociology, anthropology and the natural sciences.
Given the center’s explicit societal commitments, the RCPS’ members regularly engage with actors in the field such as activists, politicians, medical professionals, policy makers and NGOs. We cordially invite such stakeholders to get in touch and work with us.
