The Department of Philosophy offers a program leading to the Bachelor of Arts in philosophy that develops studentsâ€™ abilities to think critically, examine fundamental questions about the nature of the self and the world, and thus to establish a foundation for intelligent action in the world. Students are exposed to a variety of philosophical perspectives and asked to philosophize. Because philosophy teaches clear, coherent and creative thinking, it can be of service in almost any field, particularly law, medicine, government, education, computers, publishing and business. The department also prepares students for graduate study in law, theology, social work and philosophy. Philosophy is both a way proposing and interrogating the meaning of human life as well as an intellectual discipline that fosters the best thinking possible in its students. Far from an idle discipline asking "pie in the sky" questions, philosophy seeks to find the truth about to the most controversial and challenging questions available. The best example of how seriously philosophers value the truth is the Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who was so committed to challenging the thinking of his time that he was executed for it! Though our faculty and students have (so far) a perfect record in managing to avoid Socratesâ€™ fate, we do pride ourselves in carrying on his tradition of asking basic questions that require examining the meaning of human existence. Thinking, writing and speaking about basic questions is, in our view, what a humane education is all about. These questions have tremendous relevance to all intellectual disciplines--and we explore this relevance in the courses that we teach with other departments (such as Nursing, Political Science, Environmental Studies, English and Theatre/Dance to name a few). The ability to rigorously examine ideas and critically evaluate conflicting views, which you will develop by doing philosophy, is an ability that is of pivotal importance in every intellectual discipline.
