From November 26 to 29, the final round of the Second International Philosophy Olympiad for Students is taking place at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University.

N. Yeltsin (Kyrgyzstan).
The topics of the participant’s presentations are related to Kantian anthropology, the philosophy and ethics of Immanuel Kant, artificial moral agents, and more. In addition to the competition, students were offered a rich cultural program featuring excursions around Kaliningrad and the Baltic Sea coast.
The foreign participants shared how they learned about the Olympiad and spoke about their impressions of Kaliningrad.
| Ali Hassanzade Dizaj, Iran: |
| I first learned about the International Philosophy Olympiad from my friends. To my delight, I advanced to the final stage, held in Kaliningrad. During my visit, I explored Kaliningrad and the region, and I was particularly captivated by Kant Island. I also had the chance to visit Zelenogradsk, a stunningly beautiful city. The Baltic Sea and the region’s remarkable architecture left a profound impression on me. |
| Thomas Dosset, France: |
| I learnt about the Olympiad through social media; a friend of mine sent me a link to the Olympiad’s page, and I immediately found it interesting. Although I had visited Russia before and seen Moscow, Kaliningrad felt entirely different. Its breathtaking beauty and unique fusion of Russian and European cultures stood out to me. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Philosophy Olympiad and experience this extraordinary city. |
