The Westchester Institute for Ethics and the Human Person is first and foremost a scholarly community of ethical thought and reflection. Dedicated to fundamental research on the Western moral tradition, we pursue our objectives in cultural, political, and academic settings. Operating as a New York not-for-profit corporation, and sponsored by the Legionaries of Christ, a Roman Catholic religious congregation, our approach is thoroughly rooted in the Catholic moral tradition.

Through scholarly gatherings, interdisciplinary research, publication, seminars, and lectures, we seek to reinvigorate contemporary moral discourse at all levels, while at the same time working to resolve some of the most difficult moral questions facing mankind today.
