This minor helps students to analyze ideas, think critically, and argue effectively, thus providing essential skills for a variety of careers.
How should we live? What is the mind, soul, or self? Can war or genetic engineering be justified? Can computers think? Are we free? Is abortion right or wrong? How do we know what is true?
If you ever think about questions like these, you are doing philosophy. From the deep questions of life to concrete cases and problems, philosophy is challenging, imaginative, and critical: it helps us to create, interpret, and analyze ideas, to think clearly, and to argue effectively. Students take these essential skills into careers ranging from business, medicine, law, and government to journalism, art, public relations, and technology.
