Overview

Why are we here? What are the limits of knowledge? What is the meaning of life? How should we relate to our social and natural environments?

Philosophy at Mount Saint Mary College invites us to study the most fundamental aspects of life.

Why be a Philosophy major?

Here's what makes the Mount's Philosophy major unique:

Philosophy conference: The Mount is passionate about philosophy...so much so, that we host a leading conference on Thomas Aquinas’ philosophy each year at the college. People come from around the world to attend the conference each summer.

Dominican heritage: As a Dominican school, we were founded upon principles that value the search for truth and deep thinking that are so important to philosophical study. Additionally, at the Mount you won't just focus on the history of the discipline, you'll also reflect on the relationship between philosophy the need to resolve the most significant moral and social problems we continue to face.
