Philosophy Hall is a building on the campus of
Edwin Armstrong
in the early 1930s.
The space now occupied by the registrar formerly housed
.Philosophy Hall was not occupied by protesters during the
1968 protests
. It served instead as a refuge for faculty and a site of contentious debates among them concerning student conduct.
The lawn in front of Philosophy Hall is the site of an original cast of The Thinker (Le Penseur), one of the most famous pieces by French sculptor Auguste Rodin.
The hall was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2003.[2][3]
It is one of only a handful of buildings on the Columbia campus named for an academic discipline, and not an individual. The others include Mathematics and International Affairs.
