<p>I can’t provide you any details on the history side of things, but I can provide you with some info on the phil side of things. UoC doesn’t exactly have the ‘best’ philosophy department in the world. They are very impressive, though, and they have some prominent figures in moral/poli phil (Martha Nussbaum, I’d say at least) and they have some pretty interesting characters that might not have their main interests in moral/poli phil but definitely are concerned with it (I think Pippin serves as an example of this, especially in this one extremely intriguing lecture of his - [url=<a href=“University of Chicago News”>University of Chicago News]2004</a> Ryerson Lecture: Robert Pippin: “Bourgeois Philosophy? On the Problem of Leading a Free Life.”](<a href=“http://www.philosophicalgourmet.com/departments.asp]The”>http://www.philosophicalgourmet.com/departments.asp)). Also, it seems as though going to UChicago is good for law school placement or something, but the link up there describes things fully, I believe. However, if you’re really looking for the best schools in moral/poli phil (at the grad level, at least) Harvard come to mind as being the so-called ‘powerhouse’ in the field.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
