In 2002, the first World Philosophy Day was introduced by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to "honour philosophical reflection in the entire world by opening up free and accessible spaces" and "to encourage the peoples of the world to share their philosophical heritage and to open their minds to new ideas, as well as to inspire a public debate between intellectuals and civil society on the challenges confronting our society".
