The Department of Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin is a close-knit community of researchers, teachers and students who, while pursuing their own specialised interests, spend a great deal of time and effort collaborating and discussing issues of philosophical importance.
The idea that teaching and research go hand in hand is a cornerstone of our approach to Philosophy. Thus, in addition to our teaching staff, who are also actively engaged in research and publication, we regularly host Postdoctoral Fellows who pursue independent research projects, but who also contribute, through teaching, to the intellectual life of the Department.
