This page
includes links
to pages that I personally find helpful. There is obviously no attempt
to be comprehensive, or to list every well-done philosophy page.
The Philosophical Gourmet Report
A very useful website for anyone
interested in studying in an English-language graduate philosophy
program. Includes rankings compiled by surveys of highly regarded
English philosophers. As with any ranking it reflects a particular view
of the subject, but in this case the view in question is held by of a
signification portion of mainstream American philosophical academia.
Consequently, even if you disagree with the rankings, it is a very
useful (though certainly not definitive) guide for the prospects you
will have of being employed by a major American philosophy department
if you go to a particular graduate school.
A Web
Site Dedicated to Counteracting the Excessive Influence of the
Philosophical Gourmet Report
A very well done site criticizing an
excessive over-reliance upon the Philosophical Gourmet Report,
critiquing both the approach taken by the report and the problems that
arise from students who merely follow the Report, rather than use it as
merely one source of input. Obviously, many of the valid criticisms
made on this site of the PGR would also apply to the lists on this
site. Those wanting to know whether the PGR indeed reflects the views
of the profession as a whole, or merely a notable section of it, should
examine the signatories to the Letter of Concern regarding the PGR,
which is at least as impressive as the list of philosophers taking part
in the PGR.
Philosophy
Graduate Schools
Friendly to Continental Philosophy
An example of perhaps the best way for
a "guide to graduate schools" to be done, this guide is compiled from
the personal knowledge of a practicing philosopher. As such, of course,
it has limitations in scope, and is heavily reliant upon the particular
view of the individual in question, but it is a source that should
certainly be consulted by anyone considering graduate study in
philosophy at an American university.
Philosopher's Information Center
The website of the publishers of the
Philosopher's Index, which is an excellent (if admittedly not perfect)
database for philosophical research. However, the commitment of
the editors to maximise the usefulness and reliability of the Index is
impressive, and it is not even a slight exaggeration to say that the
information available on Philosophy Lists could simply not exist
without their efforts. The website for the Index also includes
information on the journals that are indexed.
Philosophy Documentation Center
Publishers of, among other things, the
Directory of American Philosophers and the International Directory of
Philosophy and Philosophers. Both seem to rely exclusively upon
information from departments, so the information can very in
reliability and scope (e.g. whether junior faculty are included, what
subjects faculty are described as interested in), but they are
nonetheless wonderful resources.
British
Society of Aesthetics - A Guide to Graduate Aesthetics in the UK,
2004-2005
An excellent resource for anyone interested in studying
aesthetics in the UK. Includes descriptions of the research interests
of faculty, as well as a short comment from the department in question.
The
Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education
Includes very helpful reviews of all the philosophy programs in
the United Kingdom, presenting useful background information on how the
departments' programs actually operate. These reviews are, however,
from 2000/2001, so they should be read with an awareness that
departmental operations in the meantime.
Philosophy
Postgraduate Exchange Noticeboard
Run by the School of Philosophy at the University of Tasmania
(Australia), the board aims to promote academic exchange among (mainly,
but not exclusively) Philosophy postgraduate students anywhere in the
world. It is only in the very early stages, but may develop into
a wonderful resource for anyone interested in studying outside their
home country or region, whether for a short or long period of time.
Feminist
Philosophy Graduate Programs
A nicely done guide to studying feminist philosophy at U.S. graduate
philosophy departments. Certainly not exhaustive, but then it
doesn't claim to be. Nonetheless, anyone interested in studying
feminist philosophy in the U.S. should find it very helpful.
Masters Degrees in the UK
A page by the British Philosophical Association, that provides basic
information on the variety of philosophy Master's degree programmes
(specialised and general) available in the UK, as well as links to
relevant websites.
The Athena Report: A Survey of Graduate Mentoring in Philosophy
A survey of graduate philosophy students, to produce information on the
state of mentoring, with information provided by department. It
is not geographically restricted.
The Epistemology Page
This page, by Keith DeRose, includes a short but helpful guide to the
most prominent English-language departments for graduate study in
epistemology.
SWIF - Sito Web Italiano per la Filosofia
An excellent site devoted to Italian philosophy.
Graduate Programs in Asian Philosophy and Religion
Very helpful guide. Includes programs from around the world, although most are from the United States.
Philosophy Journal Information
A compilation of useful data on journals, such as time between
article submission and verdict, and the number and quality of reviewer
comments provided.
