Université Populaire de Philosophie is a public philosophy association run by ALDERAN, based in Toulouse and open to participants in other cities and online. Its mission is to make philosophical inquiry accessible, encourage independent thought and critical reasoning, and help people reflect on themselves, society, and the wider world. The association offers a varied program of public lectures, introductory and advanced courses, seminars, and themed study cycles covering subjects such as the human condition, the history of philosophy, ethics, and contemporary issues.

Its activities also include philosophy cafés, reading and discussion groups, writing workshops, cinema discussions, science forums, and sessions on skepticism and critical thinking. Many events are available in person at the Maison de la philosophie, by videoconference, and as replays, allowing people to participate remotely. Membership provides benefits including free access to lectures, reduced prices for some activities, access to selected online events, and a season pass with conference replays
