Association of French-Speaking Societies of Philosophy

The Association of French-Speaking Societies of Philosophy (Association des sociétés de philosophie de langue française, ASPLF) is an international scholarly association that unites philosophical societies from French-speaking countries and regions. Its primary activity is the organization of a regular congress, which serves as a major meeting point for philosophers working in French. The association also oversees the publication of congress proceedings, often in collaboration with academic publishers. According to its official website, the 41st ASPLF Congress is scheduled for 24–27 August 2027 at the University of Roskilde in Copenhagen, on the theme 'L'EXISTENCE. INDIVIDU, SOCIÉTÉ, MONDE', organized by the Danish Society of French-Language Philosophy. The 40th Congress took place in July 2025 at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) on the theme 'Cosmos : milieu, environnement, univers'. The 39th Congress was held in Neuchâtel from 22–26 August 2023, and its proceedings, titled 'Le Mouvement', were published in 2025 by Cahiers de la Revue de théologie et de philosophie (Geneva: Droz). The association maintains a website that shares news of its congresses, publications, and member societies, such as the Société de philosophie du Québec, which announced its 2026 congress. The ASPLF thus functions as a network and platform for philosophical exchange across the Francophone world.
