In the judgment of the Advisory Board, the following programs that were not part of the survey ought to be considered by students interested in this area: University of Kansas.

Note: Some members of the Advisory Board expressed the concern, shared by the Editor, that some evaluators may have treated this category as including strength in Kant studies (some evaluators were invited to evaluate this category but not "Kant and German Idealism"). In the future, we will make clearer that the aim here is to assess departmental strength in 18 th -century philosophy prior to Kant (e.g., figures like Berkeley, Hume, and Reid).

Evaluators: Donald Ainslie, Roger Ariew, Frederick Beiser, John Carriero, Andrew Chignell, Jonathan Dancy, Michael Della Rocca, Lisa Downing, Daniel Garber, Don Garrett, Douglas Jesseph, Peter Kail, Peter Loptson, Steven Nadler, Alan Nelson, David Owen, George Pappas, Tad Schmaltz, Robert Sleigh, Eric Watkins, Catherine Wilson, Kenneth Winkler. (Remember: Evaluators were not permitted to evaluate their own department or the department from which they received their graduate degree.)
