Foundational philosophical research contributes to the global stock of understanding. Further, it secures and enhances Australia's international standing as a site of foundational research. Given the global nature of higher education, this enhancement of reputation serves to make Australia a more desirable destination for students (and, in this indirect way, makes a contribution to one of Australia's largest markets). More directly, foundational research enhances any community in which it takes place--the thirst for understanding is one of the distinctive characteristics of human beings, and support for the quest for understanding is an essential part of any well-functioning society.

基础哲学研究有助于全球的理解。此外，它还确保并加强了澳大利亚作为基础研究基地的国际地位。鉴于高等教育的全球性，这种声誉的提高有助于使澳大利亚成为学生更理想的目的地（并以这种间接的方式为澳大利亚最大的市场之一做出贡献）。更直接地说，基础研究增强了它所在的任何社区-对理解的渴望是人类的显著特征之一，支持对理解的追求是任何运作良好的社会的重要组成部分。
