哲学

哲学 – a love of wisdom – encourages students to ponder the question of life. When we ask our students to explain their own existence, they begin to comprehend the vastness of the world, with its litany of questions 和 observations. 亚洲博彩平台排名 University's bachelor's degree in philosophy provides students with intellectual insights 和 abilities that are valuable throughout life.

培养批判性思维

亚洲博彩平台排名's program embraces a number of traditions from the West 和 the East. We draw on this enriching diversity while being sensitive to 和 supportive of the Roman Catholic heritage of the University’s tradition. The papal document Ex Corde Ecclesiae inspires our search for wisdom 和 our joy in sharing it with students.

We introduce students to philosophical issues in human life 和 cultivate their ability to apply philosophical methods to intellectual, 道德和社会问题. 这些问题既复杂又有争议, 和, 虽然没有简单的答案, it matters greatly which answers are accepted or decided on. Engaging in philosophy develops a critical mind, a balance of analytic 和 interpretive skills, 和 a capacity for the imaginative development of abstract formulations 和 their concrete application in human society.

Program Spotlight: 哲学 Through an Experiential Lens

Dr. 克雷格Condella, professor 和 chair of the Department of 哲学, takes his European 哲学 class to the Whitehall Museum House to experience firsth和 its influence on American philosophy.

哲学 is something that we usually think of as being very sort of ahistorical 和 acontextual – which is why we still read Plato 和 Aristotle millennia later – but there is a historical dimension to philosophy 和 place matters, so we want to think about what makes American philosophy unique, 是什么让它与众不同?.

节目焦点:生命的基础

Studying philosophy at 亚洲博彩平台排名 helped me become a much more well-rounded person. I didn’t know what I wanted to study when I got to 亚洲博彩平台排名, but a core class in freshman year generated so much curiosity that I knew I had to study philosophy. In it you’re studying the thoughts of some of the most intelligent people to have ever lived. You’re exposed to the thought processes of geniuses. It’s a very powerful foundation for just about any line of work.
