PHILOSOPHY DO YOU TEND TO ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS? DO YOUR QUESTIONS LEAD TO MORE QUESTIONS? We carry within ourselves certain basic convictions about what is true and what is good. Yet, we wonder about these convictions, doubting them, calling them into question. Philosophy is this wondering and questioning. You will learn to think clearly, effectively, and rigorously. You will address difficult and fundamental questions about knowledge, the nature of the world, and the place of humans within it. You will explore the relationship between ideas, interpretations, questions, and arguments in the Western tradition, which will help you understand your own perspectives and questions as you advance through your degree.
