ACPI Encyclopedia of Philosophy

The Association of Christian Philosophers of India (ACPI) was founded in 1976 at Aluva, Kerala, India under the inspiration of Dr Richard De Smet, SJ and the initiative of Dr Albert Nambiaparambil, CMI.

The chief activity is the annual meeting, held at different places in India, with a topic chosen a year in advance and papers presented largely by the members. Since 2000, the association has begun publishing the proceedings of its annual meetings (see below, Publications). Earlier, papers were published through Journal of Dharma, Divyadaan: Journal of Philosophy and Education, or other such journals.

Originally, the association would meet at the same venue as the Indian Philosophical Congress; members would join the IPC, and then hold their own meetings. Eventually, the decision was made to hold meetings independently of the IPC.

Membership is open to any Christian holding a doctorate or a master's degree in philosophy or related subjects, or even holding a teaching post in some institute of higher learning.

A recent major activity was the publication of the ACPI Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

In 2010, the association published the ACPI Encyclopedia of Philosophy, eds Johnson J. Puthenpurackal and George Panthanmackel. Bangalore: Asian Trading Corporation, 2010.
