The space now occupied by the registrar formerly housedelectrical engineering laboratories in whichMichael I. Pupin andEdwin Howard Armstrong made several major technological breakthroughs. The building has been home to such notable faculty members as philosophersJohn Dewey,Frederick J. E. Woodbridge andErnest Nagel, Guadeloupean novelistMaryse Condé, French literary scholarMichael Riffaterre, poetKenneth Koch and English literary scholarsLionel Trilling,Edward Said,Carolyn Heilbrun,Quentin Anderson,Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak andMark Van Doren.

Philosophy Hall was not occupied by protesters during the1968 protests. It served instead as a refuge for faculty and a site of contentious debates among them concerning student conduct.

The lawn in front of Philosophy Hall is the site of an original cast ofThe Thinker (Le Penseur), one of the most famous pieces by French sculptorAuguste Rodin.

The hall was designated aNational Historic Landmark in 2003.[2][3]

It is one of only a handful of buildings on the Columbia campus named for an academic discipline, and not an individual. The others include Mathematics and International Affairs.
