Philosophy research

Philosophy at Leeds explores fundamental questions about the world, and our relation to it and to each other. Our research spans metaphysics, epistemology, moral and political philosophy, and the philosophies of logic and language, mind and action, science, and religion.

With around 25 permanent staff, as well as postdoctoral researchers and research students, our culture is active and collaborative. We undertake world-leading research in our specialist areas, and use our breadth of expertise to draw connections between different fields.

We share and improve our ideas in regular seminars and other research events, many of which are organised by our principal research clusters. By supporting each other we instil and sustain world-leading standards of research.
