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