<p>Not necessarily so, Viper. At a lot of colleges they wall off entire areas of philosophy like “Continental” and religious philosophy, and don’t even consider them philosophy. I agree with those who recommend Notre Dame, BC, Georgetown, and Holy Cross. Fordham is superb in philosophy. Also Marquette and St. Louis U. are very good. U of Toronto has a huge philosophy dept. and includes some top-notch philosophy profs in all areas.</p>
