About EIPE

I have had the opportunity of being in touch with, and visiting the Erasmus Institute of Philosophy of Economics and I can put on record how impressed I have been with what is being accomplished there in research, teaching, and general intellectual advancement of great social significance.  The activities going on at the EIPE are well conceived and well planned, and skillfully supported and led by experts in both economics and philosophy, to produce achievements of real distinction.

I attended a symposium at EIPE in June 2010 on philosophical work closely related to my own efforts.  The conference facilitated the presentation of some cutting-edge research in the philosophy of justice particularly related to the social sciences and economics.  Both in terms of the range of subjects covered and the quality of the papers presented, as well as the vigourous and productive nature of the discussions that followed the presentation of the papers, the symposium was a spectacular success.

I hope EIPE will continue to play the important role it is presently playing in sophisticated education and momentous research.  It has been my privilege to be associated with the Institute.
