What does it mean to live well and together without appeal to a transcendent source of value or universal rules? The Centre for Advanced Research in European Philosophy (CAREP) at King’s University College hosts four internationally recognized scholars of Spinoza or Deleuze to help explore this challenging and timely question.

Join Jeffrey A. Bell, Professor of Philosophy, Southeastern Louisiana University, in-person for “Nothing Matters: Deleuze and Althusser's Critical Spinozism”. In this talk Jeffrey show that by understanding Spinoza's understanding of substance as a problem, in Deleuze's sense of that term, we can bring Deleuze and Althusser into productive conversation.

Western University has issued a statement of support to all students and our President, Dr. David Malloy is a signatory to the ACCUC letter in condemning the violent actions. We stand in support of students, faculty and staff with connections to Ukraine and to Russian communities who oppose these and all acts of violence.

Many experts are providing commentary on the war. At King’s, history professor Dr. Oleska Dracheych spoke with local media to share his insights about the invasion. As a university community we struggle to make sense of this devastating situation and we seek to offer our support to all in the community who are impacted by this crisis.

If you are a student who is having difficulty accessing funds as a result this crisis or who wishes to speak with someone, please contact King’s International at international@kings.uwo.ca or the Dean of Students Office at acsd@kings.uwo.ca and you will be given support and directed to appropriate resources.
