Introducing the Department

The Department's (new) home

The department offers a balanced program of courses in the history and problems of philosophy, allowing for concentration in the  following areas: medieval philosophy, continental European philosophy from Kant to the present, social and political philosophy, and philosophy of science.
The department co-sponsors a program in medieval philosophy and theology. There is provision for other interdisciplinary programs in cooperation with other departments of the university.
The range of courses available within the department and elsewhere allows the student considerable flexibility in planning an individualized program of study.
A number of scholarly journals are currently edited by members of the faculty. The department members are actively involved into research.
The faculty consists of 28 full-time members and, in addition, regular visiting professors from both the United States and abroad. There are currently about 60 doctoral students and about 80 students in the Master's program.
