专业概况

Philosophy examines fundamental and perennial questions: What is the nature of reality? What is knowledge and how is it acquired? What is moral behavior? What is the basis for aesthetic judgments? The Department of Philosophy acquaints students with the variety of viewpoints found in historical and current philosophical literature. Philosophy also examines the concepts, theories, methodologies, and moral issues of the natural sciences, social sciences, arts, and professional areas. The sciences and social sciences developed from the study of branches of philosophy, especially logic, epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and natural philosophy. For instance, the field of psychology grew from epistemology. As the founding discipline, philosophy clarifies other fields. The department offers a course on the philosophy of science, for example. While philosophy's greatest value may be in the uplifting satisfaction gained through greater understanding, philosophy is also a practical area of study.

Philosophy and Other Fields: Recommended for students planning careers in medicine, cognitive science, the arts, and for other students interested in acquiring a knowledge of philosophy that also contributes to the understanding of another field. The department Chair, with the approval of the chair of the department's curriculum committee, may allow substitutions for one or more course requirements, consistent with the educational goals of our program.
