Congress Organizers The Twentieth Congress Throughout the Twentieth Century international or world congresses of philosophy have been convened on average every five years. Until Paris 1937, they were organized by a Permanent Committee for International Philosophy Congresses. Since 1948, they have been sponsored by the International Federation of Philosophical Societies (FISP). The final congress of the century comes to Boston from August 10-16, 1998. The Congress theme, Paideia: Philosophy Educating Humanity, is a topic that can be addressed creatively by the philosophical traditions of the great world civilizations. The organizers are committed to a congress with the highest standards of philosophic thought, emphasizing the representation and interchange of ideas from the wide range of the world's philosophical traditions and movements. American Organizers The American Organizing Committee, Inc. is the executive arm of the Congress and represents the American philosophical associations and societies in the United States that are members of FISP. The AOC Steering Committee consists of representatives from the Steering Committee and American societies of FISP together with the representatives from sponsoring institutions in the Greater Boston Area: Boston College, Boston University, Brown University, the University of Massachusetts (UMass - Amherst) and (UMass - Boston), Suffolk University and Wellesley College.
