The University of Ottawa’s bilingual (French/English) graduate program is unique in North America, facilitating a rich integration of European and Anglo-American philosophy. Currently in a period of renewal, the department has strengths in all areas of the history of philosophy, but particularly in ancient, mideval, modern, and contemporary, both analytic and continental. Competent in most of the major philosophical sub-disciplines, we have particular strengths in political philosophy, philosophy of 1 guage and epistemology. Currently theses are being written in all of the major periods of philosophy and in many of the sub-disciplines.
