We work with the Scout Association to further philosophical understanding among younger audiences, through a range of activities including embedding critical thinking in their existing programmes.

We publish a wide range of thought-provoking content, from online Think articles to academic journals and full-length books. Subscribe to our journals Think and Philosophy and open your mind to new ideas as they appear.

We empower the curious of every age and background to think more deeply about fundamental questions. If you’re interested in philosophy or the work that we do, there are many ways you can join in.
