About the Philosophy Department

The Philosophy Department at the University of Cincinnati offers a full range of courses in the history of philosophy and contemporary philosophical problems. Graduate students may choose to work in either the "Traditional Track" or the "Philosophy and the Sciences Track." The latter calls for graduate work in an empirical science and culminates in an interdisciplinary dissertation. The department is recognized for its strengths in Philosophy of Mind/Cognitive Science, Philosophy of the Life Sciences, and Aesthetics.

The department sponsors a vibrant speaker series and an annual colloquium featuring multiple speakers addressing a single theme. See the events section of this website for information about upcoming speakers. To receive email notices of upcoming talks, please subscribe to the department's listserve list.

A unique feature of this website is the videos page. During the course of the next two years, we expect to add more interviews with department faculty members talking about their research.
