Leighton Hall in Winter

Philosophy grapples with fundamental questions about the nature of…well everything! You name the subject, and there is (probably) a “Philosophy of” that subject. Philosophy students learn to look at issues from differing perspectives, support their ideas with arguments, and present their thoughts convincingly in writing and in speaking.

Everyone is welcome

Our department strives to create a welcoming environment for everybody. We are especially keen to make the department, and the major, a place where people from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in philosophy feel supported and welcome.

Have questions?

If you have questions about the department, you can write the Chair Daniel Groll or our Student Departmental Adviser, Eric Lail
