Indeed, many of these topics are raised in the course in the philosophy of science offered by our department. Moreover, many important figures in the history of philosophy have been significant figures in the history of science as well, and a study of their thought helps to illuminate the nature and the development of the sciences. I am majoring in the behavioral sciences. There is important justification for this, too, as the study of mind, human nature, and human beings in society has its philosophical as well as its empirical side. To inquire into the nature of the mind, for example, or into the most desirable order for human society is to raise a philosophical question, and in fact these inquiries can be pursued in courses we offer.
Philosophical studies complete and deepen their related studies in the behavioral realm.
Philosophy is a good complement to your studies in some other major. The requirements for a minor in philosophy form a coherent package.
