Philip Buckley

Prof. Buckley is former Chair of the Department of Philosophy. From 1986 to 1992 he was a scientific assistant of the Husserl- Archives at Louvain, which engages in editing and translating the unpublished works of Edmund Husserl. His research is focused upon the phenomenology of Husserl and Heidegger, with an interest also in its historical antecedents and subsequent developments in 20th century French and German philosophy. He is the coordinator of a FQRSC (Fonds quebecois de recherche sur la societé et la culture funded) research team for 2002-2005 with colleagues from the Université de Montréal on "Phenomenology and Ethics."Since 2000, Professor Buckley has been heavily involved with a McGill-based Canadian International Development Agency project focusing upon higher education in Indonesia. He has twice been guest-professor for a semester at the State Islamic University (UIN Jakarta) and has been a consultant on curriculum design and implementation. Professor Buckley teaches courses in his area of specialization, in existentialism, and an introduction to philosophy. During his sojourn in Belgium, he scored a few goals and earned many penalty minutes while playing left wing for the Leuven Ice Devils of the Belgian Hockey League. With Professor Lewis, he forms part of the "geriatric line" on the Department of Philosophy's intramural ice-hockey team.
