For the history of the American Philosophical Association is congruent with the history of American philosophy, and these addresses have been essentially unavailable for decades, and never available outside the country.
The American Philosophical Association (APA) was founded in 1900 to promote the exchange of ideas among philosophers and to facilitate their professional work and teaching.
Having grown from a few hundred members to more than ten thousand, the APA is one of the largest philosophical societies in the world and the only American philosophical society not devoted to a particular school or philosophical approach.

 Defense of Christina Hoff Sommers
The most important contribution of deconstruction to the success of race-gender-class [discourse], however, was its making respectable a mode of argument that had always been despised in the academy, namely, ad hominem argument.
The philosophical debate is about the legitimacy of Sommers's term "gender feminism"; and the professional debate is about her charge that what has become an academic establishment of feminism in fact subscribes to the ideological tenets of this "gender" feminism and employs political means to enforce it.
If everything is political, then it is not surprising that a number of Sommers's critics seem to attribute much importance to characterizing her, or the National Association of Scholars, as "conservative" or "right wing" and to connect them up to political power structures.
