New School Philosophers

The following list of philosophers from who completed PhDs at the New School is almost certainly incomplete. But it does show that NSSR philosophers are far from inactive. Indeed, the reason I have put together this list and posted it here is to counteract the common notion among NSSR grad students (at one time held by so great a mind as yours truly) that no one hires New School philosophers.

The New School does not, to my knowledge, publish any data of this sort. A good reason might be that the school does not want to play into the hands of the Leiter-Reportesque “professionalization” of the discipline. After all, one would like to believe that an education in the immortal things is not merely a commercial endeavor.

On the other hand, a more cynical explanation of the same phenomenon would be that the New School simply does not maintain such data. This seems likely as the administrative organization of the school is often conducted in the most ad hoc and cursory manner.

I have included only the information from the websites of the relevant academic institutions. For the same reason, the information is often incomplete. If I have omitted anyone or any important information, please let me know at humpj990@newschool.edu and I will make the relevant changes. I can also remove an institution, name, AOS, or year by request.
