Founded by Mortimer Adler and Max
Weismann, the CENTER has two primary missions:
ONE, to help awaken citizens from their moral and intellectual
slumbers and to understand why philosophy is everybody's business: the
possibility of finding sound and practical answers to questions about the
good life and good society. And philosophy's ability to answer the most
basic normative questions, WHAT OUGHT WE SEEK IN LIFE? and HOW OUGHT WE SEEK
IT?
TWO, to promulgate the insights and ideals embedded in Dr. Adler's
lifelong intellectual work in the fields of Philosophy, Liberal Education,
Ethics and Politics. And to continue functioning as THE resource for, and
access to, the on-going interpretation of his work.

The Center for the Study of Language
and Information (CSLI) is an Independent
Research Center founded in 1983 by researchers from Stanford
University, SRI International, and Xerox
PARC to further research and development of integrated theories of
language, information, and computation. CSLI headquarters and the publication
offices are located at the Stanford site.

The center offers a distinctive
graduate program in philosophy -- a program intended to stress the tradition
of realism, especially the work of Thomas Aquinas and its present-day
relevance. The Center emphasizes the importance of scholarly study in the
history of philosophy, but wishes students to approach the classical
resources not simply for their historical interest but as tools with which
to confront contemporary philosophical problems effectively.

The mission of the Centre is to bring
moral philosophy into the public domain by advancing research in applied
ethics, supporting courses with a significant ethical component and acting
as a community resource. The Centre provides opportunities for academics,
practitioners and others to engage in the systematic and rational reflection
on significant moral issues of the day.
