Philosophy is the effort to understand the most basic human questions using analytical, verbal, and spatial reasoning. It examines ideas that matter to us like: What can we know? What is it to be a good person? What kinds of things exist? Is there a God? What is freedom? What is truth? It is the exploration of how you can know what you think you know. It helps you challenge your own beliefs, consider othersпПХ points of view, and ultimately better know the world around you.You will explore the history of philosophy from the sixth century B.C. to the 21st century, with courses covering logic, ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, social and political philosophy, and philosophy of art. As philosophical questions are deeply connected to the development of western civilization, philosophy can be a complement to your studies in a wide range of other disciplines and is a useful background for many different careers.
