The Department of Philosophy at Leeds is one of the largest in the UK. In
2010-11 it will be home to 25 permanent members of academic staff as well as
a further 10 or so associated academic members of staff (research fellows,
temporary lecturers and post-doctoral fellows).



The department has a dedicated research *Centre for History and Philosophy
of Science*, one of the longest-established centres of research and teaching
for history and philosophy of science in the UK.  Interests range widely
across the field of modern Western science since 1500, covering the history
of physical, biological and social sciences, social history of science,
philosophy and sociology of science and technology, philosophy of the social
sciences, history of medicine and philosophy of physics.



Philosophy at Leeds (including HPS) did extremely well in the recent RAE.
Overall, 65% of our research was rated "world class" or "internationally
excellent" (matching the percentages of leading UK philosophy departments
such as Oxford and Cambridge), and we were ranked third behind Oxford
Philosophy and Cambridge HPS in terms of 'research power'. The Department
continues to intensify and expand its research activity. We are particularly
highly rated in History of Science, Technology, and Medicine, Philosophy of
Science, Philosophy of Physics, Metaphysics, Aesthetics, and  Philosophy of
Action and have further substantial strengths in most areas of contemporary
analytic philosophy including: Ethics and Meta-Ethics, Philosophy of Logic,
Philosophy of Language, History of Philosophy, Philosophy of Mind and
Philosophy of Language.
