Welcome to the Web home of the Mississippi Philosophical Association. As set forth in our constitution, the purpose of the MPA is to increase the understanding and appreciation of philosophy; to encourage research and advance the standards and ideals of the teaching of philosophy; and to cultivate an interest in the study of philosophy in Mississippi institutions of higher learning.
The MPA holds an annual meeting often in late March or April featuring papers by faculty, students, and invited speakers. Awards are given for best student papers. In the 2008-2009 academic year, we are planning our conference for the fall of 2008. Click here for more information on the upcoming conference.
Full-time employed philosopher members pay $10 per year in dues, but anyone is welcome to the mailing list and to meetings free of charge.
