Philosophy - Benedictine University

Philosophy from Benedictine University is a Campus Bachelor Philosophy degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Philosophy seeks answers to such fundamental questions as: What is ultimately real? What is the nature and extent of our knowledge? What is the source and nature of our moral obligations? What form of government is the best? Is beauty only in the eye of the beholder? Our aim is to assist students (1) in developing an appreciation of the various answers to these questions and (2) in formulating their own answers in a way that can be defended in the arena of reasoned controversy. Philosophy draws on material from all areas of human endeavor--science, the arts, religion, and politics for example. Thus, philosophy is uniquely suited to equip students with not only an appreciation for the examined life, but also with the critical thinking, writing and communication skills necessary for success in the 21st century. Courses in philosophy are designed to: 1. Investigate the ultimate principles of knowledge, reality and human conduct; 2. Establish rational methods of evaluating ideas and arguments; 3. Explore the underlying unity and diversity of experience; 4. Provide an historical survey of philosophical ideas; 5. Offer a systematic treatment of major philosophical questions; 6. Afford you a general enrichment in philosophy; and 7. Prepare you for graduate work in philosophy or for advanced study in law, theology, or education. View more details on Benedictine University .
