About Philosophy

Philosophy (“love of wisdom”) addresses some of the most fundamental questions there are, exploring such topics as knowledge, mind, existence, society, ethics, and value. Students are exposed to a variety of historical and contemporary approaches to these questions and are encouraged to think carefully, reflectively, critically, and creatively about them for themselves.
