6th Annual Meeting of philoSOPHIA: A Feminist Society

Translating the Canon

The department of philosophy at Miami University has nine full-time faculty members with a diverse array of research interests, and offers a broad range of courses and research opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students. We are committed to a pluralistic outlook and offer courses in Analytic, Continental, and Non-Western philosophy, with the history of philosophy emphasized as the common ground of all of these. For undergraduates, the department offers a major and two minors (in History of Philosophy and in Ethics), as well as three Thematic Sequences.  For graduate students, we offer a two-year M.A. with funding. Two members of the department of philosophy also edit a national philosophy journal, philoSOPHIA: A Journal of Continental Feminism.

"Working in philosophy -- like work in architecture in many respects -- is really more a working on oneself...on one's way of seeing things (and what one expects of them)."
-Wittgenstein
