Philosophy - Miami University - Oxford

Philosophy from Miami University - Oxford is a Campus Bachelor Philosophy degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. What is Philosophy? Philosophy is the study of the most basic moral, legal, aesthetic, religious, and metaphysical assumptions that govern our beliefs about ourselves and our universe. It introduces students to our cultural heritage through the works of such great thinkers as Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Locke, Kant, and Marx, and broadens the range of concepts to understand and enjoy. Philosophy helps you develop the ability to reason clearly, to distinguish between good and bad arguments, to think through complicated questions, and to use reason in situations that are often governed by emotions. You learn more about yourself, and in turn develop self-esteem, an appreciation for individuality, and a sense of direction in life. What are the features of Miami's program?
