World Congress Regulations

BYE-LAWS to be respected when preparing a WORLD CONGRESS OF PHILOSOPHY

I. THE CONGRESS AS SUCH

1. FISP promotes at regular intervals of time – as a rule every five years – a WORLD CONGRESS OF PHILOSOPHY.

2. The idea and the realization of the Congress draw their principles from the Statutes of FISP.

3. As initiator of a congress, FISP assumes the responsibility for its scientific aspects, whereas the technical and financial responsibilities are left to the host Institution.

4. Participation in a World Congress of Philosophy may be either passive, or active.

The conditions of a passive participation are the business of the host Institution, whereas active participation is subject either to an official invitation issued by FISP or to the acceptance of a paper submitted prior to the Congress to an examination by a board (cf. Art. 12).
