Philosophy Philosophy is one of the core disciplines in the liberal arts curriculum. Knox recognizes that students take philosophy for many reasons.
Advanced courses explore the specific expertise of faculty members.
The five required courses give students broad exposure to the field. Five additional courses are taken as electives, allowing students to develop and apply their own interests. Every year, the Senior Seminar concentrates on a single theme, such as postmodernism, or on the work of one seminal philosopher, such as Hegel, Wittgenstein or Davidson. Each student, however, develops and presents an individual position paper on an issue or theme of the student's choice.
