Social Philosophy and Policy Center Founded in 1981, the Social Philosophy and Policy Center focuses on the ethical aspects of public policy questions.
Ethical analysis is informed by the results of economics, jurisprudence and political science.
The Center sponsors a wide variety of programs in pursuit of its objectives. The Visiting Scholars Program brings outstanding scholars to the campus to pursue research in philosophy and the social sciences. The Center also sponsors a continuing series of conferences at the University and elsewhere in the United States. The Center's book series, Studies in Social Philosophy and Policy, is co-published with Transaction Press, Rutgers University.
