In some ways, philosophy is a major for people whose interests are too broad for any conventional major. As he sees it, this helps explain why so many people pair philosophy with another field. And Prof. Allen Stairs stresses that philosophers aren't erudite trivia collectors. We're intellectual omnivores. Jane Lee, a double major in psychology and philosophy, is a perfect example.
Philosophy is so well rounded.
At the time she was interested in going to law school and wanted something to supplement her psychology degree and make her law school application more competitive. That first philosophy class persuaded her to pick up philosophy as her double major. I knew I would be getting an ideal college education. The more philosophy she took the more links she saw with her primary major as well as her life. However, being a double major is not always easy.
