Overview
The guiding purpose of the Philosophy program of The New School is to awaken an interest in and love for exploring and criticizing the intellectual traditions that form the basis of understanding modern humanity.
Our sense of self, what we consider important, how we pursue knowledge and life, even our tastes and inclinations are all issues that have long been studied in the field of philosophy. But philosophy also seeks to address the need, even the responsibility, to challenge and rethink what is traditionally accepted to be true about who and what we are.
In the Philosophy program, you learn to:
- Read and interpret complex philosophical texts
- Understand fundamental philosophical concepts
- Apply philosophical concepts to the analysis of contemporary problems
- Clearly express and defend your own arguments
Career Paths
Graduates of the Philosophy program have gone on to pursue careers in a wide variety of fields, both professional and academic, including law, politics, public service, writing, and the arts and sciences.
