"true philosophy exists in relearning to look at the world"
Founded in 1974, Essex's Philosophy Department is internationally
recognized for its unique combination of Anglo-American
and European continental philosophy. We are
committed to fostering a variety of philosophical
approaches, and to developing links between philosophy and
other disciplines. We offer a wide range of courses
for undergraduates, taught postgraduates and doctoral
research students. As well as being in the top ten
research departments in the UK, we also have a QAA teaching
rating of 24/24. The Department is home to Inquiry, edited
by Professor Wayne Martin.
