Official page of the Philosophy Department of Vassar College and the Vassar College Journal of Philosophy.

Vassar College is a highly selective, residential, co-educational liberal arts college, located in the scenic Hudson Valley.

Philosophy as a discipline reflects both speculatively and critically on the world, our actions, and our claims to knowledge. It pays special attention to questions and problems that other fields neglect or may be unable to resolve. The Department of Philosophy at Vassar College offers a variety of courses of study that not only familiarize students with the great philosophical achievements of the past and present, but also aim to teach them how to think, write, and speak philosophically themselves.

Vassar’s Philosophy Department is home to The Vassar College Journal of Philosophy. Founded in 2013, the Journal is a student-run publication that seeks to give undergraduate students from all disciplines a platform to express and discuss philosophical ideas. The Journal is published once a year, in the spring, both in print and online. Questions about The Vassar College Journal of Philosophy can be directed to philosophyjournal@vassar.edu, and the Journal's website can be viewed at http://philosophy.vassar.edu/students/journal.html.
