The philosophy department at Middle East Technical University is a pluralistic one in which the major thematic areas and historical periods are represented. Department members have research interests in such traditional areas as logic, philosophy of science, epistemology, ethics and aesthetics, as well as in newer fields like ecophilosophy and philosophy of technology. Analytic and Continental-historical approaches are both represented. The department offers Master of Arts and Doctorate degrees in addition to the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
