Faculty of philosophy cambridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cambridge was the birthplace of the 'analytical' school of philosophy in the early 20th century.
Today it is still a world-class center for philosophy. The most recent Research Assessment Exercise (2001) gave Cambridge the highest possible score (5*A). The Faculty achieved the best possible results from The Times 2004 and the QAA Subject Review 2001 (24/24).
