*The University of Pittsburgh has
two departments on one campus, the Department of Philosophy (linked
above) and the Department of
the History and Philosophy of Science. As the Philosophial Gourmet
rankings consider the faculties of both departments together, the
percentages and numbers in the right-hand column here reflect their
combined totals.
**The University of California,
Irvine, has two departments on one campus, the Department of Philosophy
(linked above) and the Department of Logic
and Philosophy of Science. As the Philosophical Gourmet
rankings consider the faculties of both departments together, the
percentages and numbers in the right-hand column here reflect their
combined totals.
Calculations based on the information on
each Department's own faculty listing on the Web, as linked above, as
of 9/10/2018.
NOTE: The
information here on individual departments is a "snapshot" of
departments as of the most recent date noted here, using the data on
each department's own web site. Some of those web sites apparently are
more up-to-date than others, but in the interests of consistency and
fairness, it was determined to base this site entirely on that
self-reported data. All data and links are checked at the same
time, given the comparative listing of departments. Information about
inaccuracies is welcome at any time and will be addressed the next time
the site is updated.
NOTE: To
the extent possible, gender is verified by information on the
department and university website as per pronouns and other
identifications included at that site.
