NYPC was founded in 2003 by D.G. Leahy.  Its purpose is to provide those interested the opportunity to study with him the history and major works of philosophy, also his works.

He is the author of Novitas Mundi: Perception of the History of Being; Foundation: Matter the Body Itself; Faith and Philosophy: The Historical Impact; The Cube Unlike All Others; and Beyond Sovereignty: A New Global Ethics and Morality.  He is formerly Research Consultant to the Skin Sciences Institute, Children's Hospital Research Foundation, University of Cincinnati.  He was tenured in Classics and has taught Religious Studies at New York University, and for four years prior to founding The New York Philosophy Corporation was Distinguished Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University Maryland.

In his published works Leahy traces the essential history of thought from the ancients through the medieval period into modern times.  His constructive work is the articulation for the first time of an essentially new form of thought.  The essence of this new way of thinking is to be completely beyond the absolute self-consciousness of modernity.
