The editors, in consultation with the Advisory Board, made some changes to the specialty categories for the 2024 PGR. Most minor, "Ancient Philosophy" was changed to "Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy," to reflect the fact that, while ancient Greek and Roman philosophy dominates in Anglophone departments, there are other ancient philsophical traditions. The PGR already includes Chinese philosophy, and this year also added Indian Philosophy. The former category of "Metaethics & Moral Psychology" was split into two separate specialties, one for metaethics, one for moral psychology. Finally, the category formerly known as "Philosophy of Cognitive Science" was replaced with the category, "Philosophy of the Psychological, Cognitive & Brain Sciences" to more accurately reflect the kinds of work philosophers are doing.
