Students
will be able to employ the critical skills necessary for evaluating ideas and
arguments; construct coherent arguments in support of their views; present
accurately and fairly views that differ from their own; write clearly and in an
organized manner.
Minors will grasp philosophical issues in a range of intellectual domains.
Majors will also develop an appreciation of fundamental questions concerning
reality, knowledge, and value, and the analytical resources necessary to engage
these questions; develop an understanding of historical and contemporary
attempts to answer these questions; develop a competence in formal reasoning
techniques; and have a broad-based foundation for graduate study in philosophy
and for professional disciplines such as law, medicine, business, and
government.
