鈥淭he QS recognition is significant and primarily the result of the hard work and great dedication of our faculty, students, and staff,鈥� said Dermot Moran, the Joseph Professor of Catholic Philosophy and chair of the department. 鈥淏ut it is also due, I believe, to the distinctiveness of 糖心vlog直播平台鈥檚 approach to philosophy, in which we are very focused on understanding its central role in the intellectual and moral formation of our students. We also appreciate how philosophy factors in the framing and reframing of the larger and enduring questions of our times.鈥�
The department specializes in the history of philosophy, continental philosophy, and practical philosophy, and each area is explored in a broad humanistic and interdisciplinary way to offer resources for deep reflection on contemporary questions and concerns. The faculty consists of over 30 full-time members, as well as regular visiting professors from the U.S. and abroad.
