MOVING TO FRONT FROM DEC. 29–SLIGHTLY REVISED

The 2014 PGR gives some answers, but here's my own (looking towards fall 2016), with some explanations.

First assumption:  you need a serious education in philosophy, not just the post-Kantian Continental traditions, to do good work on the latter.

Second assumption:  what counts is not the "body count" of faculty who profess an interest in the post-Kantian traditions, but the quality of the work they do.

So here are the places that seem to me pretty clearly the top six choices (with faculty interested in the post-Kantian Continental traditions who work with PhD students in philosophy in parentheses):

Columbia University (Carman, Elster, Goehr, Gooding-Williams, Honneth [part-time], Neuhouser)

Harvard University (Gordon, Kelly, Moran, Rosen, Shelby)

New York University (Hopkins, Longuenesse, Richardson, *Shaw)

University of California, Riverside (Clark [half-time], Keller, Novakovic, Warnke, Wrathall)

University of Chicago (Brudney, Conant, Davidson, Ford, Forster [part-time], J. Lear, Leiter, Moati, Nussbaum, Pippin, Wellbery)

University of Notre Dame (Ameriks, Gutting, Rush, Watson)

And then filling out the U.S. "top ten":

Brown University (Guyer, Larmore, Reginster)

Georgetown University (Blattner, Pinkard, Withy)

Johns Hopkins University (Forster, Melamed, Moyar) [for German Idealism, as good as any of the others]

Northwestern University (Alznauer, Deutscher, Fenves, Lafont, Zuckert)

Syracuse University (Baynes, Beiser, Caputo)

Also worth a serious look, for students with the right interests, are Boston University (Baxter, Dahlstrom, Hopp, Katsafanas, Speight), University of California at San Diego (Hardimon, Rutherford, Tolley, Watkins), and Stanford University (Anderson, Friedman, Hussain).
