The Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy

The Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP) is an academic organization that focuses on exploring philosophical ideas related to human experience and existence. It brings together scholars who study phenomenology, a philosophy that examines how we perceive and understand the world, and existentialism, which emphasizes individual freedom, choice, and the search for meaning in life. Founded in the 1960s, SPEP hosts conferences, publishes research, and fosters discussions that deepen our understanding of these influential philosophical traditions. Its goal is to promote dialogue between different philosophical perspectives and their relevance to contemporary issues.
