Joshua J. Alexander
Department Chair and Professor of Philosophy
The philosophy department aims to foster a vibrant intellectual exchange among faculty and students. To do this, we strive to maintain a deliberately pluralistic and interdisciplinary approach to philosophy, and our teaching and research draw from a broad range of philosophical traditions - contemporary and historical, analytic and continental, secular and religious. Our shared pedagogical aim is to help students become insightful thinkers, compassionate individuals, and engaged citizens by endowing them with both philosophical literacy and skill and the opportunity to do original philosophical work.
