UK Philosophy PhD - 2022
Welcome!
Our department has long prided itself on its inclusivity and pluralism in research and teaching. We have strengths in core areas of analytic philosophy, including the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of language, metaphysics, and the philosophy of science, as well as in the existentialist and phenomenological traditions. Several faculty members are producing cutting-edge work in feminist philosophy and the philosophy of race. We also have excellent faculty who work in ethics, social and political philosophy, environmental philosophy, philosophy of religion and the philosophy of law. We also continue to be strong in the history of philosophy, both ancient, medieval, early modern and modern philosophy.
We are confident that all our students – at both the undergraduate and graduate level – receive a philosophical education that in its breadth and depth rivals that offered by any program in the country.
Our success as a department depends on our relationships with alumni and the local community. Many of our students continue on to successful careers in a wide variety of areas - academia, law, government, business, and beyond. If you have a story about how an education in philosophy has helped you, we would love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us at any time.
