哲学哲学博士-语言哲学

马里兰大学的哲学系通常在与其他学科的互动中为大多数传统哲学领域提供指导。大多数博士生在代表该计划独特优势的领域工作：美学，道德和政治哲学，语言和语言学哲学，哲学逻辑，心智和认知科学哲学以及科学哲学。语言的发展正以语言学的发展为指导，越来越多地追求语言。马里兰州处于这一运动的最前沿。两名教师（彼得罗斯基，威廉姆斯）与马里兰州高级语言学系共同任命。
The Department of Philosophy offers graduate study leading to the Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with emphasis on contemporary Anglo-American philosophy and the interaction of philosophy with other disciplines. Students often enter the doctorate program without an M.A. degree, but the M.A. may be earned on the way to the Ph.D. While the Ph.D. program is suitable primarily for students who wish to enter a career in teaching and research at the college or university level, the M.A. program is appropriate for those who want to deepen and expand the knowledge they gained as undergraduates or who wish to develop competence in philosophy to apply to some other professional field.<br><br>Several members of the Department of Philosophy are actively involved in philosophy of language. Our topics include modality, conditionals, events, tense and aspect, speech acts, implicit content and presupposition, as well as foundational questions in the theory of meaning, and in its relation to cognitive science. Seminars in these areas are offered regularly at the undergraduate and graduate level. There is also regular collaboration with linguists in seminars, reading groups, dissertation committees, and experimental projects. Faculty working in the area:
