PHILOSOPHY
Philosophy deals with the most fundamental, and
challenging problems of life and society. Instruction
in the Philosophy Department approaches these
problems through the historical analysis of ideas
and through the examination of contemporary philosophical
issues. Students learn how to think critically
to make the best case for positions they hold,
and to "do" philosophy.
The Philosophy Major prepares students for graduate
and professional studies, including the study
of law. Themes such as values and ethics, science
and technology, African and African-American Thought,
history of philosophy, and philosophy of psychology
can be emphasized in both the Philosophy Major
and Minor.
Students majoring in other disciplines or programs
will find that some philosophy courses are especially
suitable as a complement. Biomedical ethics, for
example, is appropriate for pre-medicine.
