has been established to foster education and research into philosophical issues arising from our relationship to the natural world.
A network for dialogue and collaboration, the CSEP/SCPE aims to foster discussion of Canadian and global environmental issues in all their philosophical dimensions; including (but not limited to) aesthetic, ethical, metaphysical, ontological, phenomenological, social and political, scientific, and spiritual.

Why a Canadian Society for Philosophy of Environment?
​
Canadians have a unique perspective on environmental issues, policies, and practices, regional, national, and international. The CSEP/SCEP aims to give greater visibility to Canadian philosophical contributions to discussions of our relationship to the natural world, to highlight the work of younger scholars, and to create opportunities for joint discussion and collaboration.
