Text Box:   The International Association for Philosophy and Literature       The International Association for Philosophy and Literature is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and the development of scholarly research within the humanities.  Founded to provide a context for the interplay of philosophy, literary study, and literary theory, 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 inception in 1976, has represented and participated in many of the most vital and exciting developments at the intersection between philosophy and literature.  The Association's annual meetings provide a unique opportunity for dialogue and exchange of ideas, the articulation of contemporary themes and topics, the exploration of various expressive arts, and the production of new theoretical discourses. The IAPL maintains an up-to-date website at www.iapl.info where members and other interested persons can consult current and past IAPL programs, find information on graduate programs in relevant fields, pay dues, and register on line. The IAPL also publishes a Bibliography of Books by IAPL members and develops a book series where selected essays around conference themes are published. The IAPL is happy to expand its international memberships and participants in annual conferences. IAPL
