"in all incidents of life we ought still to preserve our scepticism"
Essex Philosophy is internationally recognised 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.
In the last
Research Assessment Exercise we came first for Continental Philosophy, as
well as being placed in the top ten philosophy research departments in the UK,
top 10 in
the Guardian's ranking of philosophy departments in the UK in both 2010
and 2011 and
received 100% in the
National Student Satisfaction Survey for overall student satisfaction. We
are in the top 10 in the
Complete University Guide league tables for 2012, with amongst the highest
scores for student satisfaction and graduate prospects. Philosophy is home to
Inquiry
and to the Essex
Autonomy Project.
