The 24th World Congress of Philosophy (WCP) was held in Beijing, China from August 13 to 17, 2018.
It was organized by the International Federation of Philosophical Societies and Peking University. Its theme was “Learning To Be Human”.
This was the first time that the quinquennial (once in five years) event was held in China.
It was first organized in 1900 in Paris, France and since it has become one of the largest philosophical events in the world.
Each World Congress is sponsored by one of the member societies in the different country, which assumes responsibility for the organization of that Congress.
