some ideas Explanation: I love this idea of chantier as a place where ideas and thought are being constructed, where they evolve and change... some ideas for a possible translation How is contemporary thought/philosophy being constructed today? Upon what principal scaffolding is contemporary philosophy constructed? / What type of scaffolding provides the principal structure of contemporary philosophy? What are the evolving avenues of contemporary philosophy? What are some of the foundations of contemporary philosophy? (the chantier being the first step of the project) |

peer agreement (net): +1hotbeds of contemporary thought Explanation: I like Michelle's "evoloving avenues of contemporary [thought]", with "evolving" capturing something of the essence of a "chantier". However, if you are looking more to capture the idea of "where contemporary or living philosophy is being practised", as you say, then you could ask, "Where are the hotbeds of contemporary thought?" This is a slightly different way of interpreting the question and I, for one, am not sure which is intended. |
