The Irish Philosophical Society was founded in 1962. It counts among its members most professional philosophers in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, as well as students and members of the public.

Our aim is to promote philosophical discussion in Ireland. The IPS supports the professional development of philosophers at all levels and works to foster greater understanding and appreciation of the value of philosophical inquiry.

We organise a conference each year at different locations in Ireland and publish the Yearbook of the Irish Philosophical Society.
