The Royal Institute of Philosophy, founded in 1925,[1] is a charitable organisation that holds and funds lectures and events on philosophical topics.
It publishes two journals and offers grant programmes as part of its mission to share philosophical speculation as widely as practicable.
The Home Secretary, Lord Balfour, gave the extraordinary instruction that the prisoner should be allowed writing materials in his cell, in which he produced his Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy, published in 1919.
He is author of many philosophical books and articles, and he gave the Institute’s Annual Lecture in 2007.
In 2019, the new Academic Director was named as Julian Baggini,[3] and he was succeeded by Professor Edward Harcourt in 2022.
