KINGWELL, Mark - Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto
Mark Kingwell is one of Canada’s leading philosophers and art critics. In his work, he covers topics such as citizenship, happiness, politics, art, architecture, and music. He argues that justice depends not only on political institutions but also on how we conduct civic discourse, the built environments we inhabit, and the aesthetic worlds we create together. Kingwell is also celebrated for bringing philosophy into the public sphere.
