Welcome to the School of Philosophy
at the University of Tasmania.
The School comprises three undergraduate programmes: Philosophy,
Logic and Philosophy of Science and Gender
Studies, as well as providing facilities for postgraduate
research in these areas.
The School has the equivalent of 10 full-time staff based at two
main campuses in Hobart and Launceston. It is an important centre
for philosophical research and is closely involved in the editorship
of the International Journal of Philosophical Studies.
The School has three main areas of expertise in Philosophy: Applied
Ethics; European Philosophy; and Logic and Philosophy of
Science. In addition the School has special programmes in Comparative
Philosophy, especially Buddhist philosophy, and in Feminist Philosophy, the latter being closely connected
with the Gender Studies programme that is also based in
the School.
The School is home to the Centre for
Applied Philosophy and Ethics, which has both a community outreach
role as well as undertaking consultancy and advisory service in
the public and private sectors.
The School also has a Buddhist
Exchange Program which promotes exchange within the Tasmania
community on issues of religious belief, peace and non-violence.
