Overview

Philosophy at University of Saint Thomas Saint Paul engages questions such as:

Is the human mind just a very complicated machine?

Can we have free will if the mind is a machine?

Must we have free will in order for life to be meaningful?

What makes an act moral or immoral?

When, if ever, can a government mandate moral acts or outlaw immoral acts?

The philosophy program at St. Thomas will introduce you to distinguished philosophical work over the centuries and into our own time. While attending carefully to philosophers whose works are foundational to the Catholic intellectual tradition, particularly Aristotle and Aquinas, the program is committed to broad integration of our understanding of reality.
