Docteur en droit et en philosophie de la KUL, Professeur émérite (Lettres et Sciences humaines) de l'Université de Sherbrooke, où il a enseigné la philosophie pendant 33 ans, Louis Valcke était internationalement reconnu le « spécialiste » de Pic de la Mirandole, humaniste de la Renaissance. Il est l'auteur de Le Périple intellectuel de Jean Pic de la Mirandole (1994), Pic de la Mirandole, un itinéraire philosophie (2005), pour lequel il a reçu le prix Monseigneur Marcel de l'Académie française en 2006 et le Prix du livre 2007 de l'Association canadienne de philosophie. Pour compléter la trilogie, la publication de La Condamnation de Pic de la Mirandole aux Belles Lettres à Paris est prévue pour l'été 2013. Son dernier livre, Du Cosmos à la Conscience, vient de paraître aux éditions du Cerf à Paris (octobre 2012). Louis Valcke a aussi écrit des essais de voyage : « Un Pèlerin à vélo » (1997), « Vignettes égyptiennes » (2003), et « Vous avez dit la Belgique? », paru en octobre 2011 chez Triptyque à Montréal. Il a collaboré à de nombreuses revues intellectuelles et journalistiques tant au Canada qu'en Europe.
André Paris

Dr. James Bradley
Dr. James Bradley, head of the Philosophy department, Memorial University, passed away on Thursday May 17, 2012 after a short illness.
Originally from Liverpool, Dr. Bradley was educated at Cambridge University where he received his PhD in 1983. He was a Humboldt Fellow in philosophy at the University of Munich and also taught in Cambridge's faculties of divinity and philosophy prior to arriving at Memorial as a visiting professor in 1986.
His areas of specialization were Idealism, Process Philosophy, Hermeneutics, Time, and Kant.
Dr. Bradley joined the Faculty of Arts full time in 1988 and had been head of the philosophy department since 2003.
His social nature and passionate belief in the value of a liberal arts education will be sorely missed by students, staff and fellow faculty members.
At Dr. Bradley's request, cremation has taken place. There is no visitation. The service will take place Monday at 9:30 a.m. from St. John the Baptist Church (the Basilica). Interment will take place at the Anglican Cemetery, Forest Road. No flowers by request and donations to a charity of one's choice.
