Philosophy (Minor)

Philosophy sharpens the mind's ability to think -- to analyze, evaluate, criticize, and interpret. It sharpens the tongue's ability to argue -- to create rationally strong arguments and to recognize weak ones. It heightens the soul's capacity to wonder -- to imagine, to speculate, and to envision. These three abilities -- to think clearly, to argue persuasively, and to envision possibilities -- are always in demand in the world of work. Here they are developed in courses organized around a specific theme, key thinkers, or a historical period in western and world philosophy.
