In Sanskrit, we say <em>vidy\u0101<\/em>, the root of which is to reason upon, including knowledge of the knower and the known. In Buddhism, philosophy refers to the core values found in the universal truths or paths. Indigenous philosophical traditions on nearly every continent are rooted in values, such as harmony within community and with the laws of nature. When applied to economics, law, science, education, and other practical areas, an awareness of how these traditions differ and what they share in common offers insights to attaining a peaceful and sustainable future.<\/p>\n<p>At Â鶹´«Ã½, our Philosophy students learn how to formulate logical and effective argument \u2014 the key to philosophical discourse.\u00a0 Students consider the over-arching questions of philosophical traditions such as: Does God exist?\u00a0 What is the connection between my mind and body?\u00a0 How do we know we exist?\u00a0 What do we know for sure? How should we treat ourselves or other people?\u00a0 Are we free or determined? In addition, students have a wide choice of courses in applied philosophy, to consider the questions of our times such as: Is globalization good for humankind?\u00a0 Is euthanasia morally permissible? \u00a0Is war ever justified?\u00a0 Should art ever be censored?\u00a0 What is the ethical obligation to sustainable living?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Outcomes for the Major<\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<p><strong>Goal 1:<\/strong> Understand metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics by closely reading the major figures and problems of those subjects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 1.1<\/strong> Students should be able to describe the major figures and problems of ethics, metaphysics, and\/or epistemology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 1.2<\/strong> Students should be able contextualize a particular philosophical reading as rooted in the intersecting Indigenous, South Asian, East Asian, Abrahamic, and\/or Greco-Roman traditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 1.3<\/strong> Students should be able to relate these figures, problems, and traditions to real-world concerns, viz., in the social sciences, politics, and\/or art.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goal 2:<\/strong>\u00a0 Employ the diverse methods of philosophical argument, including logic, observation, contemplation, and dialogue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 2.1<\/strong> Students should be able to understand and use induction and deduction in formal and informal logical analysis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 2.2<\/strong> Students should be able to observe, contemplate, and dialogue with others and with academic research in their oral communication and in their formal writing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 2.3<\/strong> Students should be able to make an engaging philosophical presentation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Requirements of the Major <\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<ol>\n<li>Students are required to take 11 courses (44 credits) to complete this major.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer students who have 48 or more credits accepted at the time of transfer are waived from the courses marked with a (W) below.\u00a0 Waivers do not apply to Major Requirements.<\/li>\n<li>Double counting between General Education, School Core, and Major may be possible.\u00a0 Check with your advisor to see if any apply.<\/li>\n<li>Writing Intensive Requirement (five courses):\u00a0 Two writing intensive courses in the general education curriculum are required: Critical Reading and Writing and Studies in the Arts and Humanities; the other three courses are taken in the major.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Career Pathways Program requirements must be completed prior to graduation.
