Expertise

Expertise represented in the King's Department of Philosophy covers the entire history of philosophy, from the pre-Socratics through to the present day - both the 'Analytic' and 'Continental' traditions, as well as Indian Philosophy and Chinese Philosophy: 
  • Philosophy of mind, psychology and language, including expertise in empirically-informed issues. We also have strong links with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience and with the Department of Neuroscience at King's.
