World Union of Catholic Philosophical Societies

Home

 

The World Union of Catholic Philosophical Societies (WUCPS) was founded in Amsterdam in1948, principally through the efforts of its first President, I.M. Bochenski. It is a founding member of the International Federation of Philosophical Societies (FISP), and one of its purposes is to represent the Catholic philosophical societies of the world in the deliberations of FISP.

      The natural evolution of the work of the World Union has led it to build bridges of cooperation not only within the community of Catholic philosophers, but with those of other traditions also concerned with the philosophical foundations of human dignity and social progress. This has been done in cooperation with the International Society for Metaphysics (ISM) and The Council for Research in Values and Philosophy  (RVP).

    The World Union currently sponsors or co-sponsors biennial conferences, symposia concurrent with the quinquennial meetings of the World Congress of Philosophy, a twice yearly Bulletin (in both print [ISSN 1607-4815] and electronic [ISSN 1607 - 4823]  format), and an annual journal, Philosophy, Culture, and Traditions (which also publishes in print [ISSN 1609-2392 ] and electronic [ISSN 1609-2406] format).
