Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy - Continental Philosophy

At Emory, continental philosophy is as much a set of philosophical orientations as it is an area of study wherein faculty members critically explore and assess figures and traditions that have emerged across Europe's late 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries, at times in relation to other philosophical periods and traditions, including American philosophy as well as ancient philosophy.

Figures of ongoing concern include Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Cassirer, Adorno, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Arendt, Foucault, Deleuze, and Kristeva. (Our affiliated faculty also bring expertise in Benjamin, Derrida, Foucault, and Levinas.)

More broadly, faculty also work with traditions such as critical social theory, existentialism, French feminism, German idealism, German romanticism, phenomenology, post-structuralism, and psychoanalysis.

Scan and upload them through the online application. Unofficial transcripts issued by the Registrar to you (the student) are acceptable. You are required to submit one transcript from each post-secondary institution attended, present school included. International transcripts must be translated and notarized.

Please do not mail paper transcripts. If you are admitted and decide to attend Emory, then you will need to submit official copies of your transcripts before you can enroll. But for your application, the scanned, unofficial versions are all that's needed.
