In philosophy, you will learn about the history of Western intellectual ideas. You will study how the great classical and contemporary philosophers have addressed such questions as "What is real knowledge?" and "How should we conduct ourselves?" In fact, philosophy is the study of the intellectual history of the globe (for example, Eastern traditions do not distinguish between "philosophy" and "religion"). The essential skill in philosophy is good argumentation. Learning to reason critically, have respect for evidence, and be able to express oneself well are major functions of all philosophy courses.
