Mandate

The primary objective of the journal Les Ateliers de l’éthique/The Ethics Forum is to publish high-level research articles dealing with normative issues that concern ethics in different fields. In addition to publishing only original articles of the highest quality, the journal distinguishes itself by the multidisciplinary character of its authors as well as by its commitment to turn ethics into a field of study whose theoretical issues call for the participation of researchers from several disciplinary horizons. The journal publishes articles in French in order to disseminate the work of francophone scholars and to make international research in contemporary ethics available to the francophone public. It is also important to the journal to create the conditions for a dialogue between francophone and non-francophone authors, which is why it is entirely bilingual, publishing as many articles in English as in French.

Themes

The journal covers the three branches of interdisciplinary research in ethics: the foundations of ethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics. Thus, the journal publishes articles bearing on the study of the foundations of this field and its main concepts, including agents’ moral psychology as well as the nature of deliberation and the emotions. It also publishes articles on the normative dimensions of public policies and social practices in areas as varied as health, the management of the human and natural environment, commerce, social and cultural diversity, justice, education, feminist studies, North-South relations, etc. Lastly, the journal publishes articles on many topics of research in applied ethics, such as business ethics, animal ethics, and bioethics. Of course, individual articles or issues not infrequently span several of these categories and sub-fields.

Open Access Statement

The journal allows readers to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full text of its articles and allow readers to use them for any other lawful purpose.

Our journal is operating under an open access policy, primarily to facilitate access to scientific knowledge.
