Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP)

The Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP) is an academic organization that focuses on two philosophical movements: phenomenology and existentialism. Phenomenology studies experience and how we perceive the world, while existentialism explores themes of existence, freedom, and individual choice. Founded in the 1960s, SPEP promotes research, discussion, and collaboration among scholars in these fields. It hosts annual meetings, publishes papers, and encourages the application of these philosophies to various disciplines, fostering a deeper understanding of human experience and existence.
