The International Association of Japanese Philosophy is very happy with the turnout and success of our sessions at the World Congress of Philosophy held in Beijing, China, this past week. We had eight sessions, all very well attended. We are also proud to announce that the IAJP has been accepted as a member of Fédération Internationale des Sociétés de Philosophie (International Federation of Philosophical Societies) (FISP), which sponsors the World Congress. This means that we will most certainly be participating in the next World Congress in Melbourne, Australia in 2023.

​Our first IAJP (International Association of Japanese Philosophy) International conference was a big success. We had 3 full days of panel sessions from morning to late afternoon. We had participants from all over the world: including not just Japan but also from other parts of Asia (Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Korea, Phillippines), Europe (both Western and Eastern), North America, and South America. Thanks to CY Cheung who worked very hard in organizing the conference. Also thanks goes to Anton Sevilla for setting up the venue for IAJP. There are talks already for another conference next year at a different location.
