Biography

After completing his philosophy aggregation in France (2002), Marc-Antoine Dilhac earned a research master's degree on the idea of tolerance in Rawls (University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, 2003). In his doctoral thesis, supervised by Professor Jean-Fabien Spitz, he intended to delineate a democratic regime of tolerance and to justify it politically. He defended this thesis in November 2009 at the University of Paris 1. In 2011, he received a Banting postdoctoral fellowship (SSHRC) which allowed him to continue research at CREUM under the guidance of Professor Daniel Weinstock, focusing on the personal disposition of tolerance. In 2013, he began his academic career as an Assistant Professor in Ethics and Political Philosophy at the University of Montreal. Since 2014, he has held the Canada Research Chair in Public Ethics and Political Theory. He also co-leads the Ethics and Politics axis of the Research Center in Ethics (CRE). His work is characterized by a strong commitment to understanding institutional mechanisms that promote tolerance and the ethical implications of democratic practices in contemporary society.
