Biography

Augustin Dumont is an Assistant Professor at the Université de Montréal, specializing in German Philosophy. He completed his Master's degree at Université de Louvain-la-Neuve and earned his PhD in Philosophy from Saint-Louis University, Brussels, in 2011. His research interests lie at the intersection of German idealism and German romanticism, with a focus on the works of Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel. Dumont's research emphasizes the role of the imagination in philosophical discourse and investigates the epistemological implications of transcendental philosophy in relation to historicity and nature. He has been a faculty lecturer since 2006 and has held various academic roles, including Co-Director of the Centre Prospéro - Langage, image et connaissance. His postdoctoral work includes fellowships at the University of Vienna and the Technische Universität Berlin, as well as a research position funded by the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research. Dumont's most recent projects involve the Canadian Research Chair in Transcendental Philosophy, exploring the dynamics of philosophical imagination and its application to contemporary philosophy.
