Lunds universitet grundades 1666 och rankas återkommande som ett av världens 100 främsta lärosäten. Här finns 42 000 studenter och 7 400 medarbetare i Lund, Helsingborg och Malmö. Vi förenas i vår strävan att förstå, förklara och förbättra vår värld och människors villkor.

Vid filosofiska institutionen bedrivs forskning och utbildning i tre ämnen:
kognitionsvetenskap, praktisk filosofi och teoretisk filosofi. Avdelningarna är till stor del självständiga med avseende på forsknings- och utbildningsinriktning men det finns också täta samarbeten mellan dem. En gemensam ambition för samtliga forskare vid institutionen är att bidra till forskningsutvecklingen genom publikationer i referee-granskade internationella tidskrifter och böcker vid internationella förlag, samt genom att samarbeta med forskare vid andra institutioner och lärosäten i Sverige och andra länder.
