Making philosophy more accessible, one step at a time.

The moonshot, pie-in-the-sky goal was always to make philosophy available to every American high school student. Now, what exactly does that look like?

Two ways: policy combined with research. At Hey Phil, we advocate for our mission at the local, state, and federal level based on research done in philosophy classrooms — philosophy’s synergistic relationship with civics, history, literature, and STEM; the dispositions and attitudes it teaches; and philosophy as a vehicle for teaching 21st-century skills that are sorely needed in a rapidly evolving workplace.

Are you a policymaker, educator, or student who wants to make philosophy accessible to young people? Get in touch at heyphilorganization@gmail.com.
