NU philosophy dept?

<p>i'm interested in majoring philosophy, especially continental philosophy. i overheard/read somewhere that Northwestern has a great philosophy department with a continental (read: not analytical) bent; can anyone confirm this?</p>

<p>The department actually is unique in that it tries to reconcile Continental and Anglo-American philosophical thought. I just declared my Philosophy major yesterday, and am meeting with my adviser for the first time tomorrow tomorrow. Generally the classes get very good CTECS.</p>

<p>wow, that's kinda (as in, really really) awesome! could you describe your experience in the philosophy department a bit? many thanks</p>
