Professors: Pessin, Turner, Vogel; Associate Professor: Pfefferkorn;  Postdoctoral Fellow: Crawford; Professor: Turner, acting chair

The Philosophy Department offers courses in major periods, figures, and texts in the history of philosophy (both Western and Asian); and the central areas of philosophical inquiry (such as metaphysics, theory of knowledge, philosophy of mind, ethics, social philosophy, and the philosophy of art). The Department makes a special effort to provide courses that establish links with other disciplines in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.

Students may elect a major or a minor in philosophy.
