Northwestern’s Philosophy PhD unites analytic precision with continental breadth and public engagement. Seminars range from modal logic and decision theory to critical phenomenology and Africana thought. Students collaborate with cognitive scientists on consciousness, with law scholars on algorithmic fairness, and with local schools in public-philosophy outreach.
