Realia is a non-profit organization which was
initiated in 1954, receiving its proper constitution in 1960.
Realia is tax exempt under IRS 501 (c)3 for educational,
scientific, religious, and charitable activities, as of 1967.
The Institute for Advanced Philosophic Research is the educational
arm of Realia, which is the parent of non-profit fundraising for
all other activities. The A.E. Koenig Trust was formed in 1988,
which is the primary funding source and is designed to produce
funds solely for Realia.
Realia publishes Contemporary
Philosophy - A Journal of Philosophy in Service to
Humanity. Each summer, the Institute holds an Annual
Conference of Contemporary Philosophy, whereby papers are
presented and philosophic ideas are society-tested.

The Institute for Axiological Research (IAF) is a
politically, intellectually and institutionally independent
community of scholars established as non profit organisation.
Founded in 1999, at the threshold of the new
millennium, at a time of the "End", of the collapse of
the leading systems and ideologies, at a time of the blurring of
sense and the splintering of established, "traditional"
values and structures, it takes on the challenge of the Zeitgeist.
Because this „End" requires considerations - it wants to be
interpreted through its own negation, that means no longer as a
question about the Sense of Being, but about the loss of Sense,
and the loss of Being and Identity. The question of Identity,
particularly the "European", can no be longer be posed
in classical terms - like authenticity - since these terms
are in themselves in question. It seems that the returning echo of
the Oracles: "Know Thyself" refers thus to a constant
human task, becoming more and more difficult to fulfill.

The Institute for Business & Professional
Ethics was established in 1985 by a joint effort of the Colleges
of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Commerce at DePaul University.
The Institute is one of the first ethics-related resources to
pioneer a hypertext linked ethics network throughout the Internet.
| The mission of the IBPE is to encourage
ethical deliberation in decision-makers by stirring the moral
conscience and imagination.
| Our objective is to provide a forum for
exploring and furthering ethical practices in organizations.
| Our goals are therefore to provide
ethics-related programming and to offer quality resources such
as a website, conferences, lecture series, on-site training,
discussion, and written and electronic publications. |

The Institute for Criminal Justice Ethics, the only
nonprofit, university-based center of its kind in the United
States, was established to foster greater concern for ethical
issues among practitioners and scholars in the criminal justice
field. Through its diverse programs it serves both as a national
clearinghouse for information and as a stimulus to research and
publication. It seeks to encourage increased sensitivity to the
demands of ethical behavior among those who enforce our system of
criminal justice, a more focused treatment of moral issues in the
education of criminal justice professionals, and a new dialogue
among scholars and practitioners on specific topics in criminal
justice ethics.
The Institute draws on the facilities of John
Jay College of Criminal Justice, a specialized college within the
City University of New York offering undergraduate and graduate
degree programs in criminal justice.
The Institute sponsors a Journal.

science and ancient Greek natural philosophy.

The Institute for Humane Studies was founded in
1961 by Dr. F. A. "Baldy" Harper, a former economics
professor at Cornell University. Part of a generation that had
lived through two devastating world wars and seen the rise of
numerous totalitarian dictatorships, Harper set up an institute
devoted to research and education in the conviction that greater
understanding of human affairs and freedom would foster peace,
prosperity, and social harmony.
History demonstrated the great capacity of humans to solve their
problems through "the practice and potentials of
freedom," and Harper envisioned this as the primary focus of
the Institute for Humane Studies. "Not in government or
force, not in slavery or war, but in the creative, and thereby
spiritual, power of freedom, shall our inspiration be found,"
he wrote in an early proposal for the Institute.
Based for many years in Menlo Park, California, the Institute
moved in 1985 to Fairfax, Virginia, and affiliated with George
Mason University. At George Mason, the Institute has been able to
pursue its mission more effectively in cooperation with other
organizations affiliated with the university -- the Mercatus
Center, the James Buchanan Center, and the Law and Economics
Center at the GMU Law School.
Today, with a primary focus on students, the Institute continues
the work begun by Baldy Harper. The mission of IHS is to support
the achievement of a freer society by discovering and facilitating
the development of talented, productive students, scholars, and
other intellectuals who share an interest in liberty and who
demonstrate the potential to help change the current climate of
opinion to one more congenial to the principles and practice of
freedom.

To advance Objectivist ideas and ideals in our
culture and society and to create an open community of people who
share those ideals. We are crusaders for rational individualism,
and a home for rational individualists.
The website of The Objectivist Center (formerly,
Institute for Objectivist Studies) provides a wealth of
information about its programs and divisions. The Center produces
a twenty-page monthly newsletter, Navigator, for its members. The
mail-order division, Principal Source, provides a superb line of
books by Ayn Rand, works in Objectivist thought, and audio tapes
of a wide range of lectures on the philosophy and its
applications. Each year a week-long Summer Seminar is held.
Additional events are held throughout the year, and various public
advocacy appearances are made by Center scholars.
In addition to information on all of the above,
this website provides a library of over 40 articles, reviews,
interviews, excerpts, event reports, and study guides. Information
for local clubs and discussion groups is provided, as is a listing
of such groups and a calendar of their events. An archive of
references in the popular media to Ayn Rand and Objectivism
documents the growing attention paid to the philosophy. Links Plus
provides links to additional resources, both websites and printed
materials, that will help explain the various aspects of
Objectivism. Also, several essays and event reports from this
website have been translated into Spanish.

The Institute of Medicine, Law and Bioethics is a
collaborative venture between the Universities of Liverpool and
Manchester, with the assistance of the North West Regional Health
Authority. The North West of England can already claim leadership
in this field with individual scholars to match any currently
practicing. Bringing them together creates the opportunity to
establish a world class center of excellence that compares
favorably with the best centers in the world. The Institute
provides an environment for research and graduate study in all
aspects of medicine, law and bioethics. The Institute also has
links with commissioning agencies, NHS Trusts, the NHS Executive
and other non-governmental bodies. The philosophy is to develop
constructive dialogue between all parties to the provision and use
of health care services in the UK and Europe.

The international Institute Vienna
Circle, a nonprofit society founded in Vienna in October 1991, has
set the following goals, documentation and further contributions
to the development of the 'Vienna Circle' in the areas of science
and adult education; and secondly to cultivate and apply logical
empiricism, critical rationalism and linguistic analysis in the
sense of a scientific philosophy and coordinated with general
socio-cultural developments.
An important goal of this effort is the democratization of
knowledge and of science understood as a process of enlightenment
in contrast to irrationalism, dogmatism and fundamentalism in any
social setting, but in cooperation with developments of research.
