Back in 1913, a society dedicated to philosophy -
whose name has been lost in the mists of history - underwent a
schism. The surviving remnant adopted the title, 'The
Philosophical Society of England'. Its founding charter was 'to
promote the study of practical philosophy among the general
public'. While one may question the implied sharp division between
practical and theoretical aspects of philosophy, the advocacy of
the practical relevance of philosophy continues to be our primary
aim. More than ever, a healthy society needs philosophers in order
to stimulate the process of criticism and debate. As individuals,
each of us can benefit from being aware that insofar as our sense
of who, or what we are involves unstated - and possibly incorrect
- philosophical assumptions, we should strive to be good
philosophers rather than bad ones.

All prophets reach the state of mind,
transcending time and regionalism, where they get enlightened of
the reality that is in the Universe. The prophets called it the
Truth, and the Taoist sages called it the 'Tao'. The awareness of
it leads to the permanent moral structure that should be adhered
to by the humanity. The ones who insist on the strict observation
of it by everyone, the prophets, come into violent conflicts with
the society. The numerical majority of the society has momentary
victory over them. The others are called the sages.

Founded in 1982, RPA members struggle against
capitalism, racism, sexism, homophobia, disability discrimination,
environmental ruin, and all other forms of domination. We also
oppose substituting new forms of authoritarianism for the ones we
are now fighting. Our efforts are guided by the vision of a
society founded on cooperation instead of competition, in which
all areas of society are, as far as possible, governed by
democratic decision-making. We believe that fundamental change
requires broad social upheavals but also opposition to
intellectual support for exploitative and dehumanizing social
structures. Our members are from many nations and continue a
variety of radical traditions including (but not limited to)
feminism, phenomenology, Marxism, anarchism, post-structuralism,
post-colonial theory and environmentalism. Our efforts center on
conferences and publications. We consider the enterprise of
radical philosophy inherently interdisciplinary and welcome
persons not trained in philosophy.
