International Society For Philosophers ISFP

wisdom begins in wonder – Linked on our blogs with Philosophy for Younger People: a Polemic, with PhiloSophos, and with PHILO – ACTION, POUR PENSER ET CHANGER L’ECOLE.

  • We hold that philosophy is for everyone, not just a select few. Human beings have been gifted with the capacity to think, to project our minds beyond the immediate necessities of here and now, beyond the limits of everyday concerns, so that our place in the world becomes a topic for thinking.
