Philosophy
Philosophy is quite unlike any other field. It is unique both in its methods and in the nature and breadth of its subject matter. Philosophy pursues questions in every dimension of human life, and its techniques apply to problems in any field of study or endeavor. No brief definition expresses the richness and variety of philosophy. It may be described in many ways. It is a reasoned pursuit of fundamental truths, a quest for understanding, a study of principles of conduct. It seeks to establish standards of evidence, to provide rational methods of resolving conflicts, and to create techniques for evaluating ideas and arguments. Philosophy develops the capacity to see the world from the perspective of other individuals and other cultures; it enhances one's ability to perceive the relationships among the various fields of study; and it deepens one's sense of the meaning and variety of human experience.

What Will I Learn
Within this program, you’ll gain a broad understanding of philosophy. You’ll be able to understand important periods, themes, movements, and figures in the history of philosophy, apply ethical theories to major social issues, analyze arguments using the principles and methods of logic, develop their own philosophical views and arguments, and evaluate responses to problems in metaphysics, epistemology, and other areas of philosophy.
