The Philosophy Common Room, which also houses the department library, is an informal gathering place for students and faculty. No classes, and no meetings other than departmental receptions are scheduled there.
Conversation takes priority over private study.
Funds for furnishing the room came from generous gifts from department alumni. The Philosophy Department Library is a non-circulating collection of approximately 3000 books and periodicals, for use within the Library. Periodicals are located in Room 140. Request access from the department secretary. The books may be located through LION, the electronic catalog of Swem Library, through bound lists in Room 127, or by browsing the shelves.
