Overview

The Philosophy degree offered by Aquinas College provides students with the skills of critical thinking and expression essential to Liberal Arts education. More particularly, by synthesizing historical and systematic philosophical approaches, to provide a foundation so that students may engage important perennial philosophical questions, and address them well in dialogue and in writing.

These questions—such as what is Truth? Reality? The Human Person? The Good? Power? Justice? The Divine?—are foundational to human flourishing in general, and for success in the particular disciplines. Acquiring the skills for answering them logically, soundly, and persuasively is invaluable to the intellectual life and virtue of the person, the College, and the Civic Community. In accord with its Dominican mission, this is to seek truth for individual perfection and the common good.
