Philosophy 
Courses and seminars in philosophy offer serious reflection and analysis of the approaches and perspectives of the philosophers who shaped out Western culture.  Philosophy provides students with the concepts and skills necessary to understand the theories that have been developed and, more importantly, to evaluate rationally alternative approaches, including their own. 

Philosophical study provides an overview of influential attempts to synthesize diverse philosophical insights into fully developed world views, world views with far-reaching implications for how we live and interact. 

Philosophy contributes depth and perspective to the study of law, government, psychology, history and literature.  Students of natural science derive from philosophy a heightened awareness of what is positive and what is problematical in their field of inquiry.  Mastery of the techniques of philosophical analysis is relevant to the preservation of clarity of thought in every field of inquiry. 

Seen as a discipline with a history and heritage, philosophy presents an imaginative array of perspectives on the basic questions of life.  In your study of  philosophy you will join with thinkers throughout the ages, share their wonder, and reflect philosophically in thinking about yourself, your life, and the world in which you live.
