Members of the Philosophy Programme have wide-ranging interests. But, in line with the Programme's role in the School of Humanities and NTU as a whole, these interests are intended to cluster around certain areas of research: Chinese Philosophy, Consciousness & Experience, Ethics, and Philosophy of Science.
