Our Mission

Our mission is to bring understanding, wisdom and eudaimonia (flourishing) to the heart of education for children and adults. We believe that reasoning skills developed through philosophical enquiry are an indispensable foundation of all aspects of learning and that Philosophy, like maths, music or physical education, is intrinsically worth doing and intrinsically engaging.

We asked some of our philosophers why they chose to do philosophy, here's what they said...


The Ethics Cup 2025

The Philosophy Foundation is proud to be partnering with The Ethics Cup 2025. This brilliant initiative is a tournament in which teams of high school students match with with each other discussing ethical issues of public concern. It’s not a debating competition and isn’t won by proving the opposing side wrong.

Any school, state or independent, experienced or inexperienced, is encouraged to participate, and they make special accommodation for schools that serve less privileged areas. No special classes or clubs need to be organised to participate.

Registration for the 2025 Ethics Cup is open now! All the information you need is on thier website here.
