Philosophy


Welcome to the The University of Texas at El Paso's Philosophy department website!

Our department offers undergraduate and graduate (M.A.) degree programs in philosophy. The programs provide rigorous training for students who might be interested in training for success in business and industry, or pursuing an advanced degree in law, medicine, economics, or philosophy.

The department's faculty approach philosophical interests pluralistically, covering a wide swath of the philosophical terrain. Professors Arruda, Garbayo, and I have research projects in core analytic areas of philosophy, such as metaphysics and epistemology, while Professors Best and Simon have fine research accomplishments in continental philosophy, critical theory, and philosophical activism. Of special note is the work in Latin American Philosophy of Professor Reed-Sandoval and Professor Emeritus Haddox.

I thank you for stopping by and encourage you to navigate through our website. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

- Marc Moffett, Chair and Associate Professor
