Studyordie-
You asked:
After reading more of last year's conversation I am realizing just how good your idea of a second master's in philosophy is. Are there any philosophy MA's w/ a good continental emphasis that are known to give full-tuition scholarships if they want somebody? (I know that's rarer at the MA level than at the Ph.D. level).
Most Terminal MA's offer funding. Some of the top programs are listed at http://www.philosophicalgourmet.com/maprog.asp (however, Leiter's rankings of philosophy have some huge problems. Most "Continental" programs don't even get evaluated... but I can go on all day, so I'll save that for another post).
If you want a program to prepare you for Continental Philosophy, Georgia State would be the no-brainer. They have a good reputation with people doing work in the History of Philosophy/Continental Philosophy, and the last I heard, they offer funded students $15,000. I am at Northern Illinois University, and we have Theodore Kisiel (he's a giant in the Heidegger-world). However, he retired last year, so he only teaches on and off. You may also want to apply to Toronto. They have a funded, 1-year MA program (they turned me down last year). If you have money that you don't know how to spend, you might want to look at University College, Dublin.
