Examine the principles of human knowledge and conduct
Philosophy affords students a theoretical and practical grasp of the ethical questions that are at the forefront of concern in today's pluralistic society. Delving into questions concerning the very nature of good and evil, the philosophy student probes the basis of ethical judgment and subjects ethical criteria to critical evaluation.
Philosophy is an indispensable part of any liberal arts curriculum because it enhances a student's ability to perceive the relationships among the various fields of study.
