KNOWLEDGE. JUSTICE. REASONING.
Philosophy investigates fundamental questions about the nature of reality—about the universe as a whole, human beings, society, science, and morality. These questions underlie and unify the sciences and humanities. Philosophers explore deep theoretical, practical, and moral issues that do not easily fit into more specialized disciplines. Philosophy students learn about the basic intellectual foundations of our political, social, and legal systems, and of modern science and technology. Philosophy will challenge you with its reflective and critical approach to important, often puzzling questions about truth, knowledge, justice, the universe, and everything in between.
