We have particular strengths in: aesthetics; ethics and value theory; Hellenistic and neo-Platonic philosophy; history of analytic philosophy; legal and political philosophy; metaphysics of mind; philosophy and the future; philosophy of psychiatry; philosophy of science and society; political epistemology; religion and spirituality (including non-Western traditions).
Don't worry if your proposed research is not in any of these areas. If you think you would be a good fit for our department, take a look at the staff, PGR and research pages of our website, or contact Professor Simon Hailwood or Dr Rachael Wiseman (Directors of Post-Graduate Research) to find out about possible supervisory teams.
