Philosophy

About

Overview The function of philosophy is to explore fundamental problems of human existence. Every area of human activity—art, science, religion, politics—generates questions and viewpoints that invite philosophical reflection. Socrates went so far as to declare that the unexamined life is not worth living.Philosophy is a discipline unique in its methods and subject matter. Becoming skilled in its methods will serve invaluable functions in the undergraduate education. At Yeshiva University, the student learns to deal with complex ideas in a careful and clear way; is trained to eschew vague, impressionistic thinking and to think, instead, critically, rigorously and precisely; acquires the capacity to read carefully and reflectively, and to write in an organized, persuasive fashion.Skills such as these are transferable: they serve the student well in any career.Program Student Learning GoalsStudents will be able to critically evaluate philosophical arguments and to construct their own.Students will be able to clearly communicate philosophical ideas, both orally and in writing.Students will be able to comprehend a wide, diverse range of philosophical texts.

Philosophy is excellent preparation for any profession that demands the ability to grasp complex ideas, analyze problems from differing vantage points and communicate effectively.
