Overview

Key facts

The Stanford Philosophy Department at Stanford University teaches students to think critically about questions of being, knowledge, and value and their application in society. Its rigorous undergraduate and graduate programs train students in traditional core areas of philosophy and also provides them with opportunities to explore subfields such as the philosophy of literature. Students acquire skills involved in critical reading, analytical thinking, sound argumentation, and the clear expression of ideas.

The department has a strong focus on the history of philosophy, with one of the best programs in Kant studies in the world. It also maintains a tradition as a leading research center in logic and the philosophy of science.
