Hey Munk,
Coming from a Canadian perspective, I don't know of any PhD programs in Political Science/Theory/Philosophy north of the 49 that allow entry without prior completion of a Masters program. I'm tempted to think that Philosophy would fall under the same restrictions. Things might be different in the U.S., but even in Britain (Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Essex), most PhD programs that I have come across either require a masters or are 1 + 3 programs in which the first year is masters course requirements and the following three are PhD courses, followed by a thesis.
Quote:Must/Should you go Masters, then Doctoral? I've heard mention of skipping directly to Doctoral.

But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
