Philosophy (PHIL)

Philosophy examines questions pertaining to the nature of language, truth, knowledge, reality, beauty and ethical commitment – questions that are so fundamental to human existence that they are neither easily answered nor easily ignored. The study of philosophy develops skills in interpreting texts, thoughtfully responding to other viewpoints, constructing and evaluating argumentation, and the disciplined imagining of novel possibilities for human knowing, valuing and living. In addition to its intrinsic interest and value, it also provides excellent training for graduate, medical, law or business school, and prepares students for a variety of potential careers, from the corporate world to nonprofit work to creative, educational or entrepreneurial pathways.
