Welcome to the Public Philosophy Network. While several features are open to the public, we invite you to join (it's free!) to take full advantage of the all of the network's content and features. For user guidelines, click here.

The purpose of the Public Philosophy Network (PPN) is to: 1) to create a democratized space where reflection on public philosophy could take place, that is, a space of mutual learning and support for publicly engaged philosophers and those who wish to do publically engaged work in the field; and 2) to support philosophers (and those in related fields) who do publically engaged work by providing them with the opportunity to cultivate networks of both mentors and peers engaged in work identifiable as "public philosophy."

The Network also invites philosophical discussion concerning the concept of public philosophy, the relationship between theory and practice, and related issues. Lastly, the PPN offers Network members discussion forums and other tools to provide practical assistance on how to develop and sustain work in public philosophy.

The PPN also holds in-person conferences every 18 months.  The next conference will be held at the Emory University Conference Center, Atlanta, GA, March 14-16, 2013.  Details to follow!
