Philosophy and policy formulation

In 1995, UNESCO signed the Paris Declaration for Philosophy, recognizing the important role of philosophy in promoting democracy by encouraging independent thought and enhancing people's capacity for judgement. In view of this, they declared that the role and teaching of philosophy should be promoted and expanded.

This commitment is upheld throughout the UNESCO Philosophy and Democracy Programme. The activities of this programme that work towards bringing philosophy into the policy development process include: - The creation of two UNESCO Chairs - The programme Pathways into the Third Millennium - Publications - And the organization of international conferences
