WELCOME TO THE
Princeton Project in Philosophy & Religion
The 1879 Hall Arch, which literally, if not symbolically, divides Princeton's Philosophy and Religion Departments, and which 3PR tries to bridge.
What is 3PR?
3PR brings together an interdisciplinary group of students and scholars who share a research interest in the philosophy of religion broadly-construed.
In 2024, 3PR and the Princeton Philosophy Department formed PRÉCIS ("Philosophy, Religion, and Existential Commitments in Society") to be the undergraduate- and public-facing wing of 3PR.
“Ultimately, a person should not ask what the meaning of life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. Each person is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”
