More than 50 years ago, Alfred Whitehead and William James wrote the papers and delivered the lectures than put an indelible stamp on the pattern of Western philosophy--and established Harvard's Philosophy Department as one of the finest in the world. Although the small concentration today barely has the staff to cover Eastern and modern philosophy and requires the unpopular logic course, Philosophy 140, its reputation among scholars is unaltered.
