As a philosophy student at Oglethorpe, you will explore the history of philosophical inquiry, and the evolution of modern thought, moving from early thinkers like Plato and Socrates, onto influential intellectuals like Descartes, Kant, Sartre, and Derrida. You'll participate in small, discussion-driven classes, while learning from the expertise of highly engaged professors – a true Socratic experience. You'll develop the critical thinking skills and intellectual muscle to begin assessing their ideas and arguments for yourself, and to clearly refine and express your ideas – abilities that will serve you well in any profession.
