Faculty

The Philosophy faculty members have a variety of specialties in philosophy and represent diverse philosophical perspectives. Philosophical issues addressed include both traditional topics from areas such as epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and social and political philosophy, and also the most recent contemporary concerns. The techniques brought to bear on these issues are analytical, formal, and historical.
