Philosophy has been a part of Wellesley's curriculum since the College's founding. In the earliest days of the College, courses in 'Logic & Rhetoric' and 'Mental & Moral Philosophy' were required of all students. The curriculum quickly expanded to include a range of courses in the history of philosophy, logic, metaphysics, philosophical psychology, and the philosophy of religion. Since that time, the departmental offerings have gradually grown and changed to reflect the breadth of the contemporary philosophical landscape.
Please follow the links on the left side of this page for information about the department, including our course offerings, major and minor requirements, and faculty members.
Announcements:
- The department is delighted to announce that Helena
de Bres, currently a post-doc at Stanford's Program on Global
Justice, will join the faculty next fall. Helena received
her PhD in Philosophy from MIT in 2007. Her research focuses
on social and political philosophy, in particular
on questions of justice and fairness in global politics and
international law, including those that arise in relation to
international trade, the global environment, international
labor standards, development and immigration.
