history

The IAP was founded as a private university in the Principality of Liechtenstein and is state-recognized. In 1980, a forerunner facility was established in Dallas , Texas . In 1986 the IAP was founded in Liechtenstein by Nikolaus von Liechtenstein , Rocco Buttiglione and Josef Seifert . From 1986 to 2007 Josef Seifert was Rector of the IAP. Rocco Buttiglione taught philosophy, social ethics, economics and politics until 1994 and was Vice Rector of the IAP. Aivaras Stepukonis completed her master's degree in philosophy at the IAP from 1995 to 1998. Roderick Chisholm also worked for a short time at the IAP.

From 2008 to 2012 only research was carried out at the IAP. A teaching company has been offered since 2013.

Aim and task of the IAP

The aim and task of the IAP is teaching and research in the field of philosophy. In contrast to the restriction to the history of philosophy, the IAP wants to see the focus on systematic philosophy . In terms of content, the IAP states, in contrast to idealism, to focus on realistic philosophy. In addition to the "big philosophical questions" of metaphysics, ethics and epistemology, the IAP is engaged in research on the philosophy of psychology and psychotherapy (in particular on the logotherapy founded by Viktor Frankl ) as well as on philosophical questions about economy, state and culture and the Austrian school directed.

IAP was temporarily a member of the Association of International Lake Constance Universities . This made it possible for students and researchers to use the facilities of the member universities (e.g. libraries, canteens, study programs) (e.g. University of Konstanz and University of Zurich ).

A partner university of the IAP is the Instituto de Filosofía Edith Stein in Granada, Spain.

Liechtenstein belongs to the European higher education area .
