Welcome to the Home Page of the Department of Philosophy at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada's capital city. The Department combines award-winning teaching with excellence in research.
A major focal point is interdisciplinary research and teaching in two main areas: moral, social & political philosophy, and philosophy of mind and language. The Department has strong ties to the Centre on Values and Ethics and the Institute for Cognitive Science. Several members are also active researchers in history of philosophy, aesthetics, and philosophy of art.
The M.A. program in Philosophy has a distinguished record of preparing students for Ph.D. programs. Graduates have gone on to doctoral programs at prestigious universities including Brown, Cornell, McGill, Queen's, Toronto, and Western Ontario.
The Department provides a superior undergraduate education in philosophy. Programs and courses span the entire history of western philosophy, aesthetics, ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of mind and psychology, logic, philosophy of language, philosophy of science, metaphysics and epistemology. In addition to four-year Honours and three-year General degrees, a Specialization in Philosophy, Ethics and Public Affairs is offered.
