About
Founded in 2022, the Secondary School Philosophy Conference of Zhejiang (SSPCZ) is a student-organized academic philosophy community for middle and high school students. Held in Hangzhou, it combines student paper presentations, scholar lectures and a philosophy hackathon.
The Secondary School Philosophy Conference of Zhejiang (SSPCZ) is an open academic forum for middle and high school students passionate about philosophy. We aim to create a festival of ideas and exchange — inviting experts as guest speakers and combining lectures with student paper presentations to bring philosophy to every participant and kindle a spirit of inquiry among secondary school students.
The first two sessions were successfully held in a hybrid offline-and-online format, welcoming Prof. Jiang Yuhui, Prof. Wei Ran, Prof. Wu Jing, Prof. Hu Xingming, Prof. Lin Wei and other experts from a range of fields for keynote lectures. With strong support from high-school philosophy societies across Hangzhou and enthusiastic student participation, the conference continues to advance philosophy among secondary school students.
Issue III, themed “Change & Invariance”, was held entirely online on 2–5 October 2026 and has ended. Its program, call for papers and policies remain available in the edition archive for long-term reference.
