Overview

Learning about past and modern philosophers and theories, you will reflect on your own thinking and perceptions; understand how societies and institutions are shaped by their traditions; examine fundamental assumptions of the lived experience; research theory independently and cooperatively; and communicate your ideas clearly using sound reasoning and arguments.

You will learn these skills through your Philosophy courses at Kalamazoo College, split into three core categories: history (e.g., Ancient Philosophy), theory (e.g., Logic and Reasoning), and applied, contemporary philosophy (e.g., Human Rights and International Law). In your history and tradition classes you will trace philosophies across time and place and learn to reconstruct their arguments as informed by the historical period in which they originated. Your theory courses will touch on key questions of the human experience: How do we know? What ought we to do? What is beauty? And, what is being and what is it to be human? Whereas, your applied philosophy courses will focus on using a philosophical mindset to assess modern problems.

The global awareness, critical thinking, and logical argumentation skills you will develop over your four years at K will make you adaptable in careers that emphasize deep analysis, persuasive argumentation, and clear communication. Given the universality of philosophy and the utility of meta-thinking, you will be able to parlay your studies at K into a host of different careers. Notably, alumni have gone on to pursue law, medicine, business, education, communications, technology, government, and non-profit work.
