On 11 December 2025 at 19:00, Les Rencontres Philosophiques de Monaco will present La Perversion, a philosophical conference examining the notion of perversion through historical, social, and psychological lenses. It will explore its treatment in literature, from Thomas of Normandy’s Tristan to Dante’s Divine Comédie, and its evolution in medical and psychoanalytic thought, including the work of Richard von Krafft-Ebing and later psychoanalysts.
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the historical and conceptual dimensions of perversion, including its social, moral, and psychological ramifications. The session promises a rigorous, reflective examination of a complex notion that continues to provoke debate in both scholarly and public discourse.
