Forum for Philosophy

Description

Founded in 1996, the Forum for Philosophy is a non-profit organization that has gained widespread recognition for its work as initiator and sponsor of engaging and thoughtful events that facilitate wider participation in academic philosophy. The Forum's full and varied programme showcases the work of contemporary academic philosophers from all philosophical traditions, often in conversation with each other and with academics from other disciplines, while studiously avoiding academic papers.

Events are always open to everyone, free to attend, and usually do not require registration. The Forum also produces podcasts and the website hosts an ever-growing archive of philosophical discussion. Finally, it also publishes essays, also available via the Forum's website, written by contemporary philosophers on a wide variety of topics. In all forum activities, they promote thought-provoking discussion of science, art, and politics from a philosophical perspective.
