| UNDERGRADUATE
STUDIES |
| Through
reasoned reflection, philosophy seeks to understand
human experience in all its various aspects.
Courses examine the moral, social, political,
aesthetic, and religious dimensions of human
existence, topics in special fields such as
science, and the historical development of philosophy.
In these courses students can develop skills
in the presentation, interpretation, analysis,
and evaluation of differing viewpoints, and
refine their own beliefs about deeply important
issues. |
