The Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP) is a professional organization devoted to supporting philosophy inspired by continental European traditions. It is one of the largest philosophical societies in North America. It strives to encourage work not only in the philosophical traditions of phenomenology and existentialism, but also in areas commonly associated with 'continental philosophy,' such as animal studies, critical theory, cultural studies, deconstruction, environmental philosophy, feminism, German idealism, hermeneutics, philosophy of the Americas, post-colonialism, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, queer theory and race theory.

SPEP fosters discussion on all philosophical topics, from art and nature to politics and science, and in the classic philosophical disciplines of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics. It is actively committed to philosophical pluralism and the support of historically under-represented groups in the profession. More information about SPEP is available at the society's website - www.spep.org.
