The Department of Philosophy at Leeds is one of the largest and most dynamic philosophy departments in the country, noted for its open and friendly approach to students and with an excellent reputation in teaching and research. We have forty permanent and associate staff and are active in all the main areas of the subject, with an international standing in research across many areas, ranging from metaphysics and philosophy of religion to aesthetics and ethics.

Specialist research is promoted through four research centres: the Centre for Aesthetics, the Centre for Ethics and Metaethics (CEM), the Centre for History and Philosophy of Science (HPS), and the Centre for Metaphysics and Mind (CMM).  A list of our current research interests is provided in the pages below:
