The Philosophy Faculty Curated Collection from the DePaul Art Museum
Main Content
The faculty of the Department of Philosophy have selected works from the permanent collection of the DePaul Art Museum (DPAM), works they found to have some relation to a philosophical theme that is central to their own research or teaching. Those works are gathered below into a "collection," organized according to the faculty member who has selected the work and listed with the theme that the faculty member has identified.
These works, taken altogether, give the visitor to our website a unique and original insight into our department's interests and strengths. As you navigate around the Department of Philosophy website, the images you see on the various pages have been selected from the Philosophy Faculty Curated Collection from the DPAM. Enjoy!
