Dear All, I am a currently a junior Philosophy major at Reed College in Portland Oregon. I am extremely passionate about philosophy and very happy with my major. That being said, there seems to be a lot of theoretical overlap with the PolSci department as some of my favorite thinkers are Heidegger, Foucault, etc. I've taken many Political science courses at my college, but all of them have been focused exclusively on theory and philosophical ideas (for example, Hegel Marx, Being and Time, Foundations of Foucault, etc.). I want to pursue my Ph.D. in political philosophy and originally was going to apply to Philosophy programs but, I would apply to a Political Science program if it would be a more productive in reaching this goal. My questions are essentially: 1.Should I consider applying to a Political science Ph.D. program? 2. Does my undergrad major of Philosophy hurt my chances of application in any way? Thank you!
