The purpose
of a major or minor in philosophy is to contribute to the liberal education
of students by developing analytical and critical thinking, broadening
perspectives and tolerance for pluralism, and encouraging the pursuit of
knowledge and truth in all areas of life. Underlying these goals is the aim
to help students develop their own philosophical approaches, together with
an awareness of the relevance of philosophy for the fundamental
methodological and substantive perspectives of other disciplines. Where
appropriate, the courses are intended to assist in professional preparation
and to provide the backgrounds and skills needed for graduate study.
