Overview

About the Program

The primary learning goals of the Philosophy program of Rutgers University are:

familiarizing students with the metaphysical, epistemological, psychological, and ethical issues that have engaged human beings for centuries by reading both classical and contemporary philosophical texts; and

providing students with the critical and analytical thinking skills that are necessary for assessing arguments and that will allow students to clearly articulate (either in oral or written form) arguments in defense of their own views.

Acquisition of these skills will allow students not only to engage creatively with ongoing discussion of philosophical questions but also to evaluate the soundness of arguments from any discipline (the sciences, economics, public health, medical sciences, technology, and so on).
