Your support is critical to our success. Gifts to the Department of Philosophy help us continue our exceptional research and will support the development of outstanding graduates and professionals.
Philosophy is methodical inquiry into the nature, purpose, meaning, and value of human life, action, and institutions. The UofL Philosophy Department has particular strength in applied philosophical inquiry, where the tools of Philosophy inform and are informed by the arts and humanities, the natural and social sciences, and community-engaged research.
The 20th Steven Humphrey Undergraduate Philosophy Colloquium took place on November 11, 2022. Students from around North America shared their philosophical ideas & arguments. Dr. Teresa Robertson Ishii (UC-Santa Barbara) delivered a keynote address, and Dr. Nathan Salmón led an informal discussion on philosophical education. The editors of Stance undergraduate philosophy journal offered a workshop on publishing one's research, and the 2023 issue of Stance includes two papers that were initially presented at the Humphrey Colloquium.
The 2023 Colloquium is scheduled for October 27; Dr. Sara Protasi (University of Puget Sound) will deliver a keynote address. Papers should be submitted by 9/25/23. More information is available here.
The Philosophy Department is grateful to Steven Humphrey for his ongoing, very generous financial support of the Colloquium.
