Faculty
Philosophers at Illinois are concerned with a variety of problems of particular
contemporary interest. Through courses they teach and work they publish on these
issues, they are contributing to the recent expansion of the compass of philosophy.
They likewise enable students to become acquainted with these developments and to
pursue their own interests along these lines.
