Philosophy is the study of knowledge, reason, existence, and value. Philosophers carefully consider the nature of the universe, humanity's place in it, the proper conduct of individual and social life, and what we can know. Philosophy develops your ability to read and understand difficult material, to think critically, to distinguish good and bad reasoning, and to develop and defend your own ideas. Studying philosophy involves learning about its methods and history as well as its sub-disciplines — metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of science, philosophy of law, philosophy of rock music, philosophy of sex and love, and so on.The philosophical exploration of the Big Questions produces skills in problem solving, text analysis, writing, deciphering of difficult texts and unparalleled analytical skills. Couple these skills with the classical and contemporary knowledge gained from some of the foremost thinkers in history and you have a commanding degree.
