PHILOSOPHY I he philosophy program offers courses in three general areas: 1) Liberal Education, teaches the ideas of influential past and contemporary thinkers who have sought to understand the world in its most fundamental aspects and our experience of it. These ideas examine the nature of truth, the limits of knowledge, what we count as real, standards of right and wrong, beauty and world religions. 2) Methodology emphasizes methods of sound practical reasoning, deductive logic and language analysis. 3) Application critically analyzes non-philosophical disciplines. Thus the philosophy of democracy analyzes the value assumptions behind democratic forms of government, while medical ethics seeks to identify and resolve dilemmas arising from conflicts between medical technology and quality of life.
