Welcome to the Philosophy Department!

Philosophy is a discipline that studies topics important to nearly everyone, such as knowledge, justice, morality, truth, freedom and reality. The methodology of philosophy emphasizes a combination of critical reflection and argument. The Philosophy Department offers a wide variety of courses and programs at all levels. Some introductory courses are designed to acquaint students with the main fields of philosophy and with the great thinkers who have contributed to the history of philosophy. Deductive Logic I presents a formal approach to the principles of good reasoning. Philosophy also offers a range of introductory courses in ethics, from those that address moral issues of concern to everyone, to courses focused on the ethical problems that arise in professions such as engineering and health care. Consult a Philosophy Department advisor to decide on the right course for you!
