Operating from within the Department of Philosophy is the Centre for Philosophical Studies. The purpose of the Centre is to provide a platform for Philosophy beyond the confines of the academic department and to present to as wide a public as possible philosophical issues that are of public interest and concern. Since its inception in October 1989 the Centre has sponsored a large number of symposia, debates, lectures and conferences.
All events are open to the public.
The Centre has brought some of the world's leading philosophers to London and has persuaded them to speak to the wider public on issues of general concern. In addition to presenting Philosophy and Philosophical issues to those outside of the academic community, the Centre is able to provide a focus for the many within King's College whose own disciplines intersect with Philosophy and thus the Centre is able to draw from the rich and varied intellectual resources of King's College London.
