Philosophy is a very specific sort of activity. Literally translated as love of wisdom, philosophy is the pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the human condition, and it involves deep and sustained reflection on fundamental questions about our actions, our identities, our values, and our history. It also involves deep and sustained reflection on the relationships we share with others and with the world in which we live.<br> <br>Because of the enduring questions that philosophy aims to answer, study of philosophy's history and training in its major subfields continue to be essential to a liberal arts education. Given the broad scope of philosophy's concerns, it also continues to be relevant to a wide range of disciplines in a university curriculum. Our philosophy major programs have been designed with just this in mind.<br> <br>Students completing a B.A. in Philosophy study key periods of the history of philosophy and receive training in major subfields such as Asian Philosophy, Ethics, Epistemology, Metaphysics, and Social-Political Philosophy. Our students may choose to take elective courses that span these various subfields. But they also have the opportunity to curate a program of study that fits their broader academic and professional interests.
