Institute for Philosophy and the New Humanities (IPNH)
The Institute for Philosophy and the New Humanities was established in collaboration with The New School and with the generous support of the Udo Keller Foundation. Its aim is to provide students and scholars from various institutions with an opportunity for intensive exchange on current issues in contemporary philosophy and the humanities. As part of five-day seminars held annually in the fall at The New School for Social Research in New York, the institute creates a space for academic dialogue, cooperation, and interdisciplinary work.
