Abstract

This special supplement of the Journal of Philosophical Research contains invited papers prepared by several well known philosophers on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the American Philosophical Association (APA). These wide ranging essays look ahead as well as to the recent and more distant past, and suggest the diversity, directions, and challenge of contemporary philosophy in the United States. These papers have been published as a service to the profession by the Journal of Philosophical Research, in cooperation with the APA's Committee on Lectures, Publications, and Research.
