Monique Castillo (1948-2019) was a French philosopher known for her extensive work on Kant and her contributions to political philosophy. Born in Reims, Castillo graduated from the Institut d'études politiques de Paris in 1974, before completing two doctoral theses under the supervision of notable philosophers Paul Ricoeur and Simone Goyard-Fabre.

Castillo initially focused on Kantian philosophy, establishing herself as a leading scholar in this area across countries. By the late 1990s, she shifted her focus to applied political philosophy, exploring socio-economic models, value systems, and professional ethics. She emphasized the communicability of ideas beyond partisan boundaries and contributed to diverse fields such as military, business, and academia.

Her involvement with the military included being a member of the editorial board of the journal Inflexions and lecturing at the Institut des Hautes Études de la Défense Nationale. In the business sector, she engaged with companies like Renault, EDF, and Thales, advocating for innovative leadership and meaningful work. Castillo also frequently spoke at the Grand Loge de France on topics like public ethics and European unity.

Academically, she held positions at numerous university councils and editorial boards, and collaborated with international universities. She was an emeritus professor at the University of Paris-Est and an honorary professor at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca in Romania.

Monique Castillo passed away on September 22, 2019, and was buried in Montmartre Cemetery.
