The Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics (CAPPE)
The Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics (CAPPE) is an Australian Research Council Special Research Centre. The Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics commenced operations in 2000 and is the world's largest concentration of applied philosophers.
Spanning three of Australia's most prestigious universities (The University of Melbourne, Australian National University and Charles Sturt University) our purpose is to connect rigorous philosophical thinking with policy input, community discussion, and professional aims.
The Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics aims to assist members of the community to make more ethically informed choices by making available the considerable resources of the rich tradition in philosophical theory, as well as other information, such as empirical research and the statement of fundamental human rights in international instruments of human rights.
As a single unit The Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics has decided to have only one home page which is maintained by the Head Office in Canberra.
