FISP sponsors every five years
the World Congress of Philosophy, hosted by the country
of one of its member societies. It also sponsors major international
conferences and other philosophical meetings of more limited
scope.
The News-Letter of FISP
appears twice a year, including information concerning its
activities and its contribution to the universal role of
philosophy, information concerning the activities of its
members, as well as all available information concerning
philosophical activities and global prospects from all over
the world.
Through its ad hoc
committees FISP promotes research on various problems, in
order to secure the impact of philosophy in dealing with
these problems.
Among the available publications
of FISP are: Philosophy and Cultural Development (1993),
The Idea of Development. Between its Past and its Future
(1993), The Idea and the Documents of Human Rights
(1995), Teaching Philosophy on the Eve of the Twenty-first
Century (1998).
FISP Archives, containing
documentation of the past activities of the Federation,
are kept at the Institute of Philosophy of the University
of Düsseldorf (Germany).
