Canadian continental philosophy

Canadian continental philosophy refers to a branch of philosophy in Canada that predominantly draws on European philosophical traditions, especially existentialism, phenomenology, and critical theory. It engages with themes such as identity, existence, and social justice, reflecting Canada’s diverse cultural landscape. Canadian philosophers often challenge traditional viewpoints by incorporating Indigenous perspectives and addressing issues like colonialism, multiculturalism, and environmental ethics. This approach encourages deep reflection on the human experience and our relationships with others and the world, fostering a more inclusive understanding of philosophical inquiry in the Canadian context.
