Enquiries: (03) 9479 1673
The Philosophy Program is a relatively large one in Australian terms and so can offer supervision over a very wide range of the discipline. The Program enjoys good working relations with other departments of Philosophy in Melbourne. The Program has frequently hosted visits from distinguished local and overseas philosophers and is able to attract leading philosophers to specialised mini-conferences.
Principal areas of specialisation
Principal areas of specialisation are aesthetics, epistemology and metaphysics, ethics, social and political philosophy, environmental philosophy, feminism, history and philosophy of science, logic (refer to separate entry under Logic), and modern and contemporary European philosophy.
