Report Recognizes Department of Philosophy

The department of philosophy recently has received high marks from The Philosophical Gourmet Report, a peer evaluation report.

The report is a highly read gossip column that offers insights on the profession and its members, as well as rankings and evaluations. The report ranks departments based upon highly regarded philosophers in the field. This year’s rankings were taken from a reputational survey of more than 120 philosophers. The report categorizes institutions as excellent, good and also notable.

SLU was tabbed as excellent in medieval, a feat achieved only by Cornell, Indiana, Ohio State, UCLA, Notre Dame and Yale.

SLU is ranked good in philosophy of religion. Only Notre Dame and Yale received an excellent rating in this category.

The department also was included among those possessing "a real mix of Anglo-American 'analytic' philosophy, as well as Continental philosophy and sometimes also history of philosophy." For the full report, visit Philosophical Gourmet Report online.
