Philosophy

Bachelor of Arts

Daniel Coyle, Steven S. Hendley, William T. Myers

Western philosophers from Plato to Whitehead have attempted systematically and

consistently to do what every reflective person does fragmentarily and haphazardly:

reflect on beliefs about the physical world, moral and religious commitments, aesthetic

experiences, relations of the individual to the community, and other phases of human

experience. In doing so, philosophers have hoped to deepen their insights into the

meaning of human existence and to explore the possibilities for individuals to participate

creatively in the reconstruction of their values to meet the new conditions of the

contemporary world.

In this process philosophers have also undertaken to examine critically what is

elsewhere taken for granted. They have developed analytical techniques such as various

systems of logic, studies of the nature and limits of the human understanding, and

linguistic analysis.

Collegiate courses in philosophy are invitations to undergraduates to participate in

this intellectual heritage and to develop analytical techniques essential to the

discipline.
