Every year, the third Thursday of November is celebrated as World Philosophy Day.


World Philosophy Day is being observed Thursday (today) around the world to raise public awareness on the importance of philosophy for future generations.
The day aims at promoting the international culture of a healthy, philosophical debate that respects people’s dignity and diversity.
Every year, the third Thursday of November is celebrated as World Philosophy Day.
World Philosophy Day was observed for the very first time on November 21, 2002, by UNESCO to bring to limelight the enduring value of philosophy.
Following this, the UNESCO General Conference declared the annual celebration of this event in 2005.
This year the theme is intended to be based on “different interactions of human beings with their social, cultural, geographical and political environment, with the underlying objective of better understanding the contribution of philosophy in our contemporary societies and the challenges they face" in the wake of the pandemic.
The main objective is to boost people’s commitment to philosophy, raise awareness about the importance of philosophical analysis, research, and studies on major contemporary issues.
Moreover, the significance of the celebration of World Philosophy Day lies in the fact that the discipline of philosophy fosters intercultural dialogue, teaches tolerance and respect amid the society.
