Program Strengths
The program offers a comprehensive and historically informed education in philosophy, mostly within the analytic tradition, although with opportunities to take courses in, and carry out dissertation research in, some areas of continental philosophy. Current areas of strength include, in no particular order: philosophy of language, ethics and political philosophy, philosophy of mind (especially philosophy of perception), epistemology (including philosophy of science), Kant, ancient philosophy, philosophy of mathematics and philosophical logic. We have close connections, and in some cases joint programs, with other departments and programs at Berkeley, including Psychology, Mathematics, Linguistics, Cognitive Science and Classics. Many graduate students take advantage of these connections both at the prequalifying stage of the program and in pursuing dissertation research.
