The South Carolina Society for Philosophy was founded to serve the
interests and needs of philosophy students and professionals around the
State of South Carolina. We meet once a year, generally sometime in
February or early March, at various universities or colleges around the
state (usually rotating the meeting location from year to year among
coastal, midlands, and upstate campuses). At this yearly conference, there
are usually some special sessions with invited speakers, but the bulk of
the sessions are based on submitted papers. There are no annual dues, but
members pay a registration fee to attend the annual meeting. Recently we
have been holding joint meetings every other year with the North Carolina Philosophy
Society, alternating meetings between
South Carolina and North Carolina locations.

Additional Conference Information
- Lodging
- We have arranged for blocks of rooms at the Charleston Historic
District Courtyard by Marriott ($229/night including parking) and the Indigo Inn
($179/night, not including parking). Both of these hotels are within several
blocks of the College of Charleston. Our hold on the block of rooms at the Marriott has technically expired, so the discounted rate may no longer be available. A more economical option, not within
walking distance, is the Sweetgrass Best Western on Savannah Highway
($59/night). To book a room at the Courtyard by Marriott, click here. You can find the
contact information for the Indigo Inn at here. Be sure to mention the South Carolina
Society for Philosophy to get the discounted rate. Contact information for the
Sweetgrass Best Western is here

last talks end at 6pm on Saturday, March 9th, after which there will be a
banquet at a local Charleston restaurant. The program is here. Details about the banquet will be provided at the conference.
