Why Study Philosophy at 91桃色?

鈥淧hilosophy,鈥� translated from the Greek, means a 鈥渓ove of wisdom.鈥� The Philosophy Minor at 91桃色 is an interdisciplinary program designed both as an important contribution to a liberal education and for those wishing to interrogate further what 鈥減hilosophy鈥� has come to mean to us today: understanding the nature of knowledge, thought, values, and reality. Our lower level course offerings, and most of our more advanced classes, are designed to be of interest to students reflective about their beliefs or those who wish to become so. The basic principle of reasoned inquiry are useful for nearly whatever subject you wish to pursue as a major, whether it be English, History, Political Science, law, or medicine. Most importantly, however, the study of philosophy looks beyond obtaining employment after graduation, finding its value in a range of thought and action that you develop and enjoy long after your formal studies might be completed.

Many of our students take only one or two philosophy courses, while majoring in other programs. They find a study of basic philosophical ideas and principles enriches their general education and adds a dimension of understanding to courses in their major program. Classes such as 鈥淚ntroduction to Philosophy鈥� and 鈥淚ntroduction to Ethics鈥� are especially designed to address students from all majors and programs. Furthermore, students often find that philosophy courses give them a deeper understanding of contemporary social issues, such as biomedical, business, interpersonal, and technological ethics. These issues find reflection in courses such as 鈥淪ocial Theory,鈥� 鈥淎esthetics,鈥� and 鈥淟iterary Theory and Critical Practice.鈥�
