Donation challenge

Dr Stanley Ho has pledged HK$500 million to support HKU. Under the “Stanley Ho Alumni Challenge” (何鴻燊校友挑戰計劃) every dollar you give will be matched dollar for dollar, up to HK$100 million a year for the next few years. This means if you donate $100 to the Philosophy Department, it will receive $200.

Now is a great time to help support the Philosophy Department! Your donation can make a difference. For example, even small sums of money can help us provide more prizes for our best students.

For more details about the donation challenge, see this page. Please contact the Dept if you would like to make a donation.

Dr. Hawley found an article in the NY Times Magazine about the “experimental philosophy” movement. The article mentions Hong Kong! Some of the research was carried out by Dr. Ron Mallon when he was in the HKU Philosophy Department.
