Professor Point's research centers on philosophy of education and history of educational ideas, with emphasis on professional teaching ethics, didactics of philosophy, education for citizenship, and concepts of authority, democracy, and vulnerability. He employs diverse methodologies including fundamental research, empirical surveys, action research, and educational engineering of training devices. His work critically examines whether ethics can be taught through philosophical dialogue and how such teaching contributes to moral and citizenship education.
He actively teaches doctoral seminars on Philosophy of Education (co-organized with Hervé Pourtois) and a second-year Bachelor of Education course covering educational conceptions, social justice, autonomy, citizenship, child rights, and teaching profession ethics. His pedagogy emphasizes developing philosophical questioning and understanding the deontological framework of teaching.
As a core member of the Hoover Chair, he contributes to major research initiatives including the Basic Income project, Fair Inheritance Project, ARC Pension Reform research, and Louvain-Kobe Project. He participates in long-standing seminars like Midis de l'éthique (since 1991) and Mardis intimes (since 1998), while supporting educational outreach through the Certificate in Ethics and Society (ETES9CE) and Enseigner l'éthique platform.
