1A number of observations concerning current trends in philosophy will be addressed in this article insofar as they relate to the upcoming 24^th World Congress of Philosophy （WCP）. As the Secretary General of the International Federation of Philosophical Societies （FISP） and the Chair of the Executive Committee of the Congress, I am pleased to add my own reflections and observations to those of other contributors in this volume, hoping this will reflect the cooperative efforts and friendship that have united us in the course of preparation for this Congress.
