| International
Association for Greek Philosophy
The
International Center for Greek Philosophy and Culture (ICGPC)
is a non-profit academic, research and cultural Institution
which was formed in 1987 and established by law in 1990.
The
ICGPC has its seat in Samos
(Pythagorion), land of Ionia, which is also the birthplace
of philosophy.
The
ICGPC has its aim to promote international research into
Greek philosophy, and to coordinate and develop the research
carried out by specialists in Greek philosophy, and Greek
Culture.
The
Center views Greek Philosophy as including the philosophical
production of the Greeks from the time of the Presocratics
until today, since this intellectual production is expressed
in the same language, namely Greek. Thus, it is not only
the Ancient Greek Classical Philosophy that is defined as
Greek Philosophy, but also that philosophy of the Church
Fathers, together with Byzantine, Modern Greek and Contemporary
Greek Philosophy.

The SACP
was established in 1967 as a non-profit organization aimed
at advancing the development of the disciplines of Asian and
comparative philosophy in the international academic arena,
and bringing together Asian and Western philosophers for a
mutually beneficial exchange of ideas.
The
Society seeks to provide the same sort of professional outlet
for philosophers doing work in non-Western areas of philosophy
as the American Philosophical Association (APA) provides
for their counterparts in Western thought. The group serves
as the largest and most well-known professional organization
for scholars in the fields of Asian, Indian, and comparative
philosophy. It holds panels in conjunction with the APA,
the Association of Asian Studies (AAS), and the American
Academy of Religion (AAR).
