Established
in 1976
The
International Association for Philosophy and Literature
is dedicated to the
exchange of ideas and scholarly research within the humanities.
Founded to provide a context for the interplay of Philosophy, Literary
Theory, and Cultural / Textual Studies, the Association brings together
scholars from the full range of disciplines concerned with philosophical,
historical, critical, and theoretical issues.
With its focus on interdisciplinary topics and concerns, the IAPL,
since its founding in the mid-1970s, has represented and participated
in many of the most vital and exciting developments at the intersection
of philosophy and literature. The association's annual meetings
provide a unique opportunity for dialogue and the exchange of ideas,
the articulation of contemporary themes and topics, the exploration
of various expressive arts, and the production of new theoretical
discourses.
