@ geometry dash: It’s usually better to start with a philosophy MA first, focusing on the history of philosophy and hermeneutics, rather than going straight into an interdisciplinary program. This gives you the solid theoretical foundation needed to properly engage with thinkers like Derrida, Deleuze, Blanchot, and Badiou, and makes it easier to move into interdisciplinary or critical theory work later at PhD level. Interdisciplinary programs are best after you’ve built that core philosophical grounding.
