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
/ Aesthetic / Textual Studies, the IAPL 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.
