Philosophy is the original academic discipline. Plato’s Academy, founded in BC 387 at a wooded grove near Athens, named after the hero Academos, and continuing for 900 years, is often regarded as the world’s first university. Philosophy as an academic discipline today investigates fundamental questions about the nature of values, physical reality, mind, society, science, logic, ethics, and art.
Philosophy students develop the central skills of literacy: the ability to read with understanding, to write with clarity and precision, and to reason logically and well. While the problems of philosophy are valuable for their own sake, the skills and mental discipline their study repays have broad application in many areas of endeavour in business, public service, and journalism. It is an especially suitable background for professions such as law, medicine, politics, journalism, and theology.
The Department of Philosophy of the College of Arts & Science offers instruction in the central areas of philosophy – metaphysics, the theory of knowledge, the philosophy of science and of mind, ethical and political theory, aesthetics, and logic, as well as instruction in the history of philosophy. It also offers courses applying philosophy to areas of social interest and ethical concern: the environment, sexuality, technology, and medical, professional, and business practices.
Students interested in either a major or minor in philosophy are encouraged to talk to the Department’s undergraduate director for advising. The Department recommends that majors, especially those who are thinking of graduate research, take a variety of 2nd year courses from all three categories in the central areas of philosophy in order to build a strong foundation for upper division courses in the discipline.
The two philosophy departments in the university, the Department in the College of Arts & Science and the Department in St. Thomas More College offer a single degree in philosophy, with each providing a somewhat different program. Students should seek advisement from the department of their major.
Senior Philosophy Courses
200-level: Many 200-level courses require only second year standing in University (24 credit units) or PHIL 120.3. Check the prerequisites to make sure. Students lacking the prerequisites for a course may seek departmental permission to have the requirement waived.
300- and 400-level: Unless otherwise specified philosophy courses at the 300- and 400-level require at least 12 credit units in philosophy.
