Telos Institute

The Telos-Paul Piccone Institute (TPPI) is a 501(c) non-profit organization created in 2006 and incorporated in 2012 in memory of Italian-American philosopher and social theorist Paul Piccone, the founding editor of the scholarly journal Telos.

The institute "develops new ideas for addressing the challenges of modernity worldwide through the resources of particular communities and traditions.

[citation needed] TPPI has been structured to advance a series of rotating, long-term intellectual initiatives.

TPPI shares historical roots with the journal Telos, in the name of whose founding editor, Paul Piccone, the institute was created.

Although they cooperate on the publication of papers presented at TPPI conferences, the two organizations are independent from one another and pursue separate missions.
