Pathways school of philosophy

THE Pathways school of philosophy was founded in 1995 by Dr Geoffrey Klempner. In 1997, the six Pathways to Philosophy programs were launched on the world wide web as an independent project hosted on the University of Sheffield web site.

In 1999, the Pathways Ask a Philosopher service was introduced. In 2001, the first issue of the Philosophy Pathways e-journal was published.

Since 2002, Pathways has been run under the supervision of the International Society for Philosophers. The Board of the ISFP are responsible for reporting on the essay portfolios and dissertations submitted for the Associate and Fellowship awards.

In 2003, Pathways introduced tutorial support for the Diploma and BA (Hons) in Philosophy via the University of London External Programme.

At the beginning of 2006, Pathways moved to commercial web hosting at philosophypathways.com. Today, Pathways is the leading internet distance learning site for philosophy courses online. Since 1995, students from over 60 countries have studied with Pathways.
