Hodges Foundation for Philosophical Orientation Dissertation Fellowship

The FPO Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships are designed to encourage and support original and significant studies exploring the complexities of human orientation. Orientation precedes everything else, all perceiving, thinking, and acting, and its conditions and structures may thus be explored from various disciplinary viewpoints and methodological approaches. The Foundation for Philosophical Orientation (FPO) primarily supports innovative dissertations in the wider field of philosophical scholarship, but also outstanding projects in any academic field (in the humanities, the social sciences, as well as the natural sciences, including biology, psychology, sociology, or astrophysics) if they make significant contributions to the philosophy of orientation.
