Overview

The study of philosophy involves fundamental questions basic to being human, such as: What is the nature of reality, mind, body, life and death? What is the nature of knowledge, truth, and logical reasoning? What is a good and moral life? What is justice? What is the nature of the Divine? What is beauty?

The crucial emphasis in philosophy on writing and verbal communication skills, imaginative interpretation of texts, as well as critical thinking and logic, offers a unique opportunity for self-knowledge as well as an ideal preparation for possible careers in education, law, business, journalism, medicine, or public service. Many of the students in the Philosophy program of Eckerd College are double majors, finding that the rigorous demands of philosophy in reasoning, writing, and communication combine well with other majors (such as biology, psychology, or art).

Why Philosophy at Eckerd?

The philosophy discipline at Eckerd College sees itself as continuing this activity of rediscovery and transformation of Western thought, with an openness to the exploration of non-western philosophies as well. Students of philosophy at Eckerd have extensive opportunities to encounter the wealth of the great ages of philosophy, as well as to gain a working knowledge of the most recent philosophical approaches.
