World Philosophy Day is observed annually on the third Thursday of November. The day was established by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to celebrate the enduring value of philosophy for the development of human thought, for each culture, and for individual well-being.
World Philosophy Day provides an opportunity to underline the importance of philosophical reflection in the face of the challenges our world faces today. It encourages critical and independent thought, fostering a better understanding of the world and promoting tolerance and peace. The day is marked by various events, including lectures, debates, and discussions that explore philosophical issues and promote philosophical thinking.
The first World Philosophy Day was celebrated in 2002, and since then, it has been observed globally, with educational institutions, philosophical societies, and individuals participating in activities that highlight the importance of philosophy in addressing the complex issues of our time.
