European Society for Philosophy and Literature

The European Society for Philosophy and Literature (ESPL) is an academic organization that explores the connections between philosophical ideas and literary works. It encourages scholars across Europe to exchange research, focusing on how literature can express, challenge, and illuminate philosophical concepts. By fostering dialogue between these disciplines, ESPL aims to deepen understanding of human thought, culture, and society through interdisciplinary scholarship. It organizes conferences and publishes work to advance the study of philosophy’s influence on literature and vice versa, promoting an ongoing conversation about the ways texts shape and reflect philosophical questions.
