Five philosophers have been elected to the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) this year.

They are:

• Mark Kingwell (Toronto)
• Eike-Henner Kluge (Victoria)
• Stephen Menn (McGill)
• Jean-Marc Narbonne (Laval)

as Fellows of the Academy of the Arts and the Humanities, and

• Iwao Hirose (McGill)

as a member of the College of New Scholars.

There are currently over 2000 Fellows in the RSC. The fellows are, according to the organization, “distinguished men and women from all branches of learning who have made remarkable contributions in the arts, the humanities and the sciences, as well as in Canadian public life.” Members of the College of New Scholars are recognized for being among “the emerging generation of Canadian intellectual leadership.”

The entire class of 2018 is listed here.
