在这里学什么？

Philosophy's range of application is particularly broad. Through philosophy one may think about and develop perspectives on topics as diverse as god, science, language, logic, truth, ethics, politics and law. Typically philosophy leaves aside the doing of the religion, science, etc. and asks fundamental questions about the nature of and justification for the various perspectives. Philosophy is valuable just for the significance of the questions it asks, and skills it develops.

Here are some questions you might encounter in a philosophy class: What is the nature of the mind? Is it identical with the brain? Does God exist? If so, what is God like? Can we prove such a being exists? What makes an action right or wrong? What makes a society a just one? What distinguishes science from non-science? What is a scientific theory? Are numerals (like "4") names for objects? If so, what are these objects (presumably numbers) like? What is knowledge? Under what conditions do you have it?

The philosophy major requires a (relatively) low number of units, and is often added as a second major. Provision is made for internships, independent research projects, honors program, and minors. Small class sizes ensure personalized attention. The Logic Lab is a gathering place for majors, with tutors and specialized software. An outstanding faculty includes published scholars, active researchers and experienced teachers.

Degrees and Requirements Major

The Major in Philosophy requires 42 units. So graduation with a degree in philosophy requires a total of 120 units: 48 units in general education courses, 42 units in philosophy major classes, and 30 units in free electives. These elective units may contribute to further courses in philosophy, a minor, or even to a second major.

Career Opportunities

Because of its general nature, people trained in philosophy appear in just about every career field. Philosophy is excellent preparation for a career in education, law, business, government, religion, journalism, etc. and for different sorts of graduate and professional study. Philosophy focuses on clear thinking and writing, and critical evaluation of unusual and unorthodox ideas. These are skills that will serve you well in any context. As is the case with most liberal arts majors, philosophy does not provide training in specific job tasks. Rather, it focuses on basic skills that will prepare you for the more challenging tasks to which you will advance over your career.

Philosophy is valuable not only intrinsically, but also practically. Students who major in philosophy do well compared to many other majors. For data on careers for philosophy majors, see our short slideshow, Philosophy: What can you do with that? additional and related information is available at Value of Philosophy and Philosophy: What can it do for you? And if you are concerned about the potential earning power of somebody with a degree in philosophy, read this article, philosophy majors make more money than majors in any other humanities field.
