Academy Of Philosophy And Letters Incorporated

The academy pursues a deeper understanding of the meaning, origins and development of civilized life, especially in the western world, and explores moral, religious, epistemological, literary, artistic, and scientific issues, including their relation to politics and economics. The academy eschews ideological and political partisanship in favor of the pursuit of truth for its own sake. It cherishes intellectual integrity and humility. The academy sponsors conferences, seminars, symposia, and lectures, encouraging an open and vigorous but always civil exchange of views.
