The School of Philosophy at Wuhan University is one of the oldest and most influential philosophy departments in China. It dates back to September 1922, when the Wuchang Higher Teachers College (the predecessor of Wuhan University) first created the Department of Educational Philosophy. In the summer of 1956, the department underwent significant reconstruction under the auspices of Wuhan University President Li Da, who also served as the Chairperson of the Department of Philosophy. The next major phase of reconstruction occurred in the 1990s. In February 1994, the Department of Philosophy played an integral role in founding the Department of Sociology, which evolved to become an independent department in its own right in March 1997. The School of Philosophy (as it is now known) was then founded in December 1996, and in April 1999, it was merged into the School of Humanities, alongside the Department of Religion. By August 2003, the School of Philosophy was restored as an independent institutional entity, and in April 2005 the Department of Psychology was created by and incorporated into the School of Philosophy, and the School of Philosophy has retained that structure up to the present day. As of 2018, the school exhibits comprehensive cross-disciplinary strength and ranks amongst the very best departments in the country, as well as internationally. Wuhan University’s School of Philosophy is consistently ranked amongst the top 100philosophy departments worldwide by QS,rankedas the46thin 2022.
