Lighthearted Philosophers' Society Annual Conference

The Lighthearted Philosophers’ Society (LPS) is an organization for philosophy of humor and for humorous philosophy. We strive to create a venue for professional philosophy that is welcoming, engaging, and most importantly funny. Please join us in our merry ruminations!

Our conference attracts scholars from all over the nation and around the world. We are interested in philosophy of humor and humorous philosophy from any area of specialization. We’d especially enjoy papers on philosophical questions about humor. We also feature an Undergraduate option, for which undergraduate students are welcome to send work in any of the submission categories listed below. (All undergraduate work should be clearly marked “UNDERGRADUATE” via a running header on all pages of the submitted document so that it can be reviewed separately.)
