The Department of Philosophy at Birmingham has eleven permanent members of staff with research interests in a range of areas in analytic philosophy. We can offer expertise in metaphysics and epistemology; philosophy of language, mind and action; ethics, ethical theory and global ethics. In addition, the Department has research interests in the history of philosophy (Hobbes, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Schopenhauer, Wittgenstein), philosophy of religion, and philosophy of science. The latest Research Assessment Exercise ranked 85% of our research output, for which all staff were submitted, as being 'world class', 'internationally excellent', or 'internationally recognised'.
