Summary
Philosophy is a way of thinking that involves analysis, critique and creative argumentation.
Historically, philosophers have used these thinking tools to ponder issues like:
- The nature of reality
- The structure and basis for morality
- The nature and limits of human thought
- God or fundamental reality, meaning, value and beauty
- The formation of human society and government
- Human existence
Our philosophy courses explore not only these historical inquiries and their impact on human civilizations but also the skills that enable you to think with clarity and discipline.
