Although Anna Maria College does not offer a Philosophy major, Philosophy does play an important part in the total education of the students of the College. Animated by a commitment to Christian wisdom, the program aims at recovering the possibility of a knowledge, available to believer and unbeliever alike, of those first principles that ground human life and thought. Focusing on primary sources written by some of the greatest thinkers of Western Civilization, each course becomes an on-going investigation in the form of a dialogue, of fundamental questions of life, death and destiny. The required courses are designed to expose the student to some of the most important thinkers of Western civilization. These courses will help the student to reason correctly and to investigate the rational basis of morality so as to arrive as a system of values for Christian living.
Many students opt to take three and four courses in philosophy.
Lo - this.
