Philosophy, probably the oldest and most enduring human intellectual enterprise, has always reflected the human quest for a comprehensive, holistic view of reality. The scope of philsophy is immense. It deals critically with ideas in such major areas of human concern as reality, knowledge, self, society, religion, politics, morality, and art, in an attempt to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of ourselves and the world.
Philosophy teaches the student reasoning, analysis, critical and logical thought, and expression.
