Welcome to Philosophy

The Department of Philosophy is one of the oldest Departments in Utkal University.

Ayer, Ryle, Austin and Wisdom.

The Department was upgraded as Centre of Advanced Study in Philosophy with effect from 1^st April 2007. During this phase, the Department has taken a lead role in carrying out in-depth and extensive research in the field of Indian Philosophy, Philosophy of Value as well as in the area of Contemporary issues in Philosophy by publishing 36 (Thirty Six) number of books.
