Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy

The Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy is an independent teaching and research organisation.  The MSCP teaches short courses during the summer and winter university holiday periods and evening courses during semester.  We also run single day research workshops in autumn and spring, organise reading groups and work to encourage and support philosophical thinking in the community.  Everyone is welcome to attend our courses, and our teachers are free to teach on whatever subject they wish.  The MSCP is an incorporated not-for-profit association.

 

The MSCP acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land — the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation — and pay respect to elders past and present.
