It usually comes in late August or early September of the previous year. For example, if you plan to begin your PhD studies in 2024, you need to submit your application by late August or early September of 2023, more than a whole year before the start of your PhD program. So if you intend to apply, you should act very early. It takes a lot of work to put together a proper application. I usually take on one new PhD student each year. There are usually multiple applicants, so I have to choose. When evaluating applicants, I have two main considerations: (1) the match or overlap between the applicant's philosophical interests and mine, and (2) the applicant's philosopical ability. Regarding (1), I do not require a perfect match in philosophical interests, but a substantial overlap is necessary. My main research interests are in (a) Wittgenstein (early and late) and (b) intersections between Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Mind, and Philosophy of Action. For more details, please see my personal webpage. If you are in doubt regarding (1), contact me first by email. Regarding (2), I pay particular attention to the writing sample. This should be a piece of work that best shows your philosophical ability. This is best shown by developing your own ideas about a particular topic. A proper writing sample should be about 5,000 words (if in English) or 10,000 words (if in Chinese), and should be a relatively finished product. Please do NOT send more than one writing sample. (If you send more than one, you risk having none of them read.) An application without a writing sample will not receive serious consideration from me. You may send me your writing sample before the other application materials, though it is not necessary to do so. I usually begin to read the writing samples (from all the applicants) only after the application deadline. I do not offer comments on writing samples. If and when you apply, make sure that you also include a detailed research plan for the proposed doctoral study. This plan can be tentative, but it should indicate the broad directions in which you would like to go.
