Overview

Through this exploration, Philosophy invites students to recognize and respect the multiple perspectives and approaches to these fundamental questions and offers them the tools for putting different perspectives in dialogue with each other in the pursuit of truth.

Through its emphasis on formulating and evaluating arguments, philosophy cultivates rigorous critical thinking, independent thought, and thinking creatively. It provides students the opportunity to think critically and responsibly about their own beliefs, to have a sense of humility about what they do or do not know and what they have yet to learn, and to develop habits of reflection that they will employ throughout their lives. The study of Philosophy, therefore, is not only at the core of a good education; it is at the heart of any humane and free society.

Courses in Philosophy

Courses at Bellarmine University introduce students to philosophical thinking. By reading some of the greatest thinkers in the history of Western philosophy, students learn about the topics that have engaged philosophers through the ages, as well as learning how to begin to think critically about these topics. Reading others’ reflections on the nature of reality, knowledge, truth, personal identity, and human nature, students will have the opportunity to participate in the wonder that animates philosophers, and to begin to appreciate that learning is not simply a tool to be employed in the conduct of practical affairs, but is at the core of what it is to be a human being.
