从古希腊传统继承而来的哲学，字面意思是“热爱智慧”。如果智慧在这里意味着知识，那么这并不代表哲学所能做的与众不同，就像大学的所有学科都在追求知识一样。如果说智慧意味着知识之上的一种自命不凡的状态，那么作为一门学科的哲学就向往一种并非它独有的东西。艺术，语言和哲学系提供哲学课程。哲学研究强调对概念的理解，确定假设的能力以及对问题和困惑的见解的能力。哲学的核心是将严谨的思维应用于现实，知识和价值的基本问题。哲学理学学士学位课程至少需要120学分，并且平均成绩必须达到2.0。BS的这些要求是基本ROTC收到的信
Philosophy, inherited from the Ancient Greek tradition, literally means love of wisdom. If wisdom here means knowledge, then this is not informative of the distinct things philosophy does, as all disciplines at a university pursues knowledge. If wisdom means some kind of pretentious state above knowing, then philosophy, as a discipline, is aspiring to something that is also not unique to it.<br>Yes, in taking courses in philosophy at Missouri S&T, you will work on tackling these questions. In minoring in philosophy, you will get a very good understanding of the background conditions needed for these questions. In majoring in philosophy here, you will come out with more questions (very refined) than you came in with. This is okay, as you will be looking at the world in a way that is open to the possibility that much of what is presented in experience is not obvious for coming to dogmatic judgment. Nevertheless, you will be able to discern the position of any given thinker/author, analyze it, evaluate it, and then come to a rather reasonable decision about it. This kind of skill will be rather useful, whether you continue to graduate school for business, law, medicine, or whether you go into industry (you are definitely needed and wanted), or philosophy or other humanities disciplines.
