The Greater Philadelphia Philosophy Consortium (the GPPC) is a nonprofit educational organization founded in 1980 serving the region around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, including western New Jersey and northern Delaware. Its current membership includes the philosophy departments of 15 regional colleges and universities.〔(Home page. ) GPPC website.

Retrieved on 2011-01-04.〕 and Joseph Margolis (the Laura H. Carnell Professor of Philosophy at Temple University) co-founded the GPPC in 1980. The GPPC was founded to help bridge between the traditions of Anglo-American philosophy and Continental philosophy that persisted in the early 1980s. It also sought to enlarge the scope of philosophical inquiry, pursuing interdisciplinary topics in the sciences, social sciences, and other humanities.〔Margolis, J., M. Krausz, R.M. Burian (1986). "Preface" in ''Rationality, Relativism, and the Human Sciences.'' Dordrecht: Nijhoff. p. vii. ISBN 90-247-3271-9.〕 The earliest core member institutions of the GPPC included the philosophy departments of Bryn Mawr College, the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, and Villanova University. Each of these offers advanced degrees in philosophy and extended instructional and library access to graduate students of other GPPC member schools. Drexel University, Haverford College, La Salle University, and Swarthmore College soon joined as associated faculties, though not offering advanced degrees in philosophy. The GPPC also attracted the participation of faculty at other institutions, as well as other qualified persons in the Philadelphia region with an interest in philosophy.〔Margolis, J., M. Krausz, R.M. Burian (1986). "Preface" in ''Rationality, Relativism, and the Human Sciences.'' Dordrecht: Nijhoff. p. vii. ISBN 90-247-3271-9.〕 Support for the GPPC during the 1980s included grants (received by Joseph Margolis) from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council, Rockefeller Foundation, Exxon Educational Foundation, and Pew Charitable Trusts (with Michael Krausz).〔(Curriculum Vitae. ) Joseph Margolis.
