[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Philosophical Gourmet Report has some useful data.

I've been disappointed with this site. It seems rather haphazard and makes a few shaky suggestions. For example, it comments favorably on Illinois Wesleyan,  which reports just two full-time philosophy professors (along with two adjuncts), and Lawrence University, which reports just four faculty in philosophy.

Can you be more specific about what they say about those two schools that you disagree with?[/quote]
The report states that "some strong regional liberal arts colleges have much stronger faculties (Illinois Wesleyan and Lawrence University are examples)."  However, with just two full-time professors in its department (plus two adjuncts), Illinois Wesleyan appears to have too few faculty to teach a reasonable range of sub-areas of philosophy; Lawrence, at four full-time faculty, does somewhat better, but still appears lacking. As a suggestion, for a good range of coverage of sub-areas of philosophy, seven or eight faculty would seem to be sufficient and desirable, while substantially fewer than this figure may be problematic.
