The study of philosophy allows you to think about and reflect on some of the basic questions that guide the way you live. By studying the important moments in the history of philosophy, you will discover not only what the great philosophers of the past have thought about these basic issues, but also how contemporary authors have addressed them. Our programs allow you to look at the past and the present in order to understand the present and anticipate the future. More information »
