Our Story: Since 1968
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Our Mission
Our commitment to academic excellence is reflected in our publications, including the international journal Archiv für Rechts- und Sozialphilosophie (ARSP) and the IVR Encyclopedia of the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy. More than just an association, the IVR is a community of scholars dedicated to continually exploring the fundamental questions facing humanity. We welcome all academics to join us in shaping the future of legal and social philosophy.
