Hey all,
So I got into some good schools. I love philosophy. Especially science and ethics, but hell, it all interest me like crazy--even though some of it just drives me crazy, leads me to obsess over it, and finally say what a waste of time...anyways, am I wrong in thinking there is a big need for philosophy of science and ethics right now? Because if there is, then it seems like I should go to UCSD, even though it is not ranked as highly...Judging by what I can learn in a short time about their professors they seem solid in their involvement with real world issues. Whereas I get the sense Cal is a little bit more abstracted, even from the already abstracted atmosphere of academia. So basically I am just asking if there is any merit or truth to the story I am telling about UCSD's philsophy department being more connected to the world and the unfolding future then Berkeley's. Anything you guys could tell me would warrant light beams of gratitude from my heart.
