Institute of Philosophy (IP)

Description

The Institute of Philosophy is a constituent institute of the School of Advanced Study at the University of London. It was established in 2005 through a generous private donation and matching funding from the University of London.

The primary objective of the Institute is to promote and facilitate high-quality research in philosophy, making it accessible to a wide audience both within and outside the academic community in the United Kingdom. The Institute's offices are situated in Stewart House, part of the University complex, which can be accessed through the main entrance of Senate House. Most of the Institute's events take place in Senate House.

The activities of the Institute can be categorized into three main areas: • Events: This includes lectures, seminars, and conferences. • Fellowships: The Institute offers visiting fellowships and postdoctoral research fellowships. • Research support: The Institute provides electronic resources and information for graduate students.

To receive updates on upcoming events, individuals are encouraged to join the Institute's events mailing list. It is important to note that all Institute events are open to the general public. Membership in the Institute or any university is not a requirement for attending these events.

The Institute is the successor to the University's Philosophy Programme. Since 1996, it has been the administrative home for the Aristotelian Society and the Society for Applied Philosophy. Additionally, from 2000 to 2005, the offices of Mind, the leading philosophy journal in the UK, were located within the Programme (now the Institute).
