AMINTAPHIL
The American Association of Legal and Social Philosophy (AMINTAPHIL) is an interdisciplinary organization that promotes scholarly work in the philosophy of law and political and social philosophy. It holds a discussion meeting every two years, organized around topics such as Democracy in the 21st Century, Economic Justice, Just War Theory, Human Rights, and Justice and the Global Economy.
AMINTAPHIL was started in 1966 by a group of scholars reacting to the traditional conference format in which papers are submitted for presentation and then read to an audience with little or no time for discussion.
