Overview

About the department

The Department of Philosophy at Royal Holloway University of London is committed to a new vision for philosophy beyond the old institutionalised divide between analytic and ‘European/continental’ approaches. This means that we welcome people who wish to research in both traditions, as well as those who wish to do research which seeks to bridge the divide between them. We also have research strengths in the history of philosophy.

We are also very keen to encourage interdisciplinary research, in which philosophy is used to illuminate other subjects, and vice versa. We are particularly interested in this respect in research relating philosophy to the arts, and to politics and history.

We offer a broad range of expertise in many areas of philosophy and are always happy to discuss possible areas of research. At a time when analytical philosophers have realised how important Hegel, Heidegger, and others can be to their concerns, and European philosophers are seeking to connect their work to what is happening in the analytical tradition, we offer an exciting opening to the future of philosophy that seeks to be inclusive, rather than exclusive.
