Philosophical questions arise in every discipline and in every occupation.
Philosophers are those drawn to these questions who find them worth pursuing in their own right. In grappling with fundamental philosophical issues, we discover our limitations and acquire a perspective on ourselves and our place in the world that would be easy to miss otherwise. Philosophy courses focus on a wide range of topics. This culminates with a thesis in the fall of the senior year and the Senior Colloquium in the spring. The Colloquium is organized around a topic and includes visits from internationally prominent philosophers.
