The Philosophy Department has more than 20 full-time faculty members and has a strong commitment to both teaching (six faculty members have won teaching awards) and to research. Our program has particular strengths in the history of philosophy, stretching from ancient Greek thought to the most recent debates in both the continental and the analytic traditions. We are broadly pluralistic and seek to offer students a wide array of perspectives and contrasting points of view.
