Philosophy Lists
The purpose of
this webpage is to disseminate
information on philosophical scholarship and education around the
world. It is based on research begun in the mid-90s and still
continuing. Although the information is presented in evaluative form,
please note the caveats listed at the top of each page. The goal of
this webpage is not to set up a list of "better" and "worse" in
departments, journals, etc., but simply to make it easier for
philosophers to access information on philosophy in countries/languages
other than their own. Ultimately that can only be
done by presenting information in an evaluative form.
As will be clear, this site is under active
development, both in terms
of the information it contains, and the form in which it is presented.
Any constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated. Send any e-mail
to webmaster@philosophylists.info.
The
following information is currently included on this site:
1. Notable philosophy books - One page lists those books
that have
already been categorised, another contains a long list of books
waiting to be
categorised.
2. Survey of philosophy
journals.
3. Survey of graduate philosophy departments - One page contains a
single evaluative list of all the departments surveyed (Departments);
a second page breaks down the list by country (Departments
by Country); a third page breaks down the list of departments by
specialty (Departments
by Specialty), while a fourth displays the specialty listings for each department. (Departmental Snapshots).
4. A list of English-language graduate philosophy programs offered at non-English-language universities.
5. Survey of History and
Philosophy of Science departments.
6. Information on academic life
in various countries.
7. A Jobs
page.
8. A Notices page for
information I have been asked to post on journals, new books, calls for
papers, etc.
9. A selection of links
to pages that I personally find helpful.
10. An updates
page, where I will list the changes I make.
The site will be
updated on a regular basis. Other than regularly
adding new information, the following are updates I am currently
planning, in roughly the order in which I expect to address them. It
should be clear from the list that these are not things I expect to
complete within the next few weeks:
- Adding links to department and journal
websites.
- Categorisation of journals by subject
matter.
- A list of professional philosophical
societies with webpages.
- Other things as they occur to me.
I hope you find the site useful, and please
don't hesitate to contact
me with suggestions: webmaster@philosophylists.info. If you're
uncomfortable using English I can read, with varying degrees of
ability, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, so you're
welcome to use any of them. I will, however, most likely respond in
English, but you're unlikely to be reading this website if that is a
problem. On that note, though, if anyone is interested in translating
these textual parts of the site into any other language, let me know:
Tony at webmaster@philosophylists.info.
I wasn't originally going to be adding any information about myself,
since such information strikes me as rather irrelevant to the site, but
after repeated requests I decided I may as well (Biographical).
