  • Summary

    Philosophy, like other disciplines in the humanities (and social sciences), is one of the “soft disciplines” with a low paradigm consensus. With the plurality of ideas about what counts as philosophy and what methods are appropriate to it, it comes a special challenge in articulating any broadly acceptable vision for how best to implement undergraduate research in philosophy. Although philosophical research involves much collaboration, including layers of peer review feedback and multiple presentations of works in progress, it continues to culminate almost exclusively in the single-authored manuscript.Certainly, a common perception among philosophers has been that one’s own research is most efficiently and successfully undertaken by oneself without the drag of overseeing more or less novice, apprentice collaborators. Where the undergraduate mentee takes on research that is not connected to one’s own, the drag productivity is expected to be even greater.
