AWS (2) PHILOSOPHY The study of philosophy provides general as well as more specialized education for various professional objectives in many departments of the College. The student should understand that the study of philosophy is not the same as the study of many other fields where emphasis is placed upon memorization and rote response. Historically, philosophy has been an inclusive, almost boundless intellectual discipline in which the love and pursuit of wisdom was sought. And despite the historical fragmentation of knowledge, the diversification and alienation of specialized fields of human experience, philosophy at its best is still the critical, reflective and synoptic interpretation of life in all its dimensions with the love and pursuit of wisdom its rightful goal. Philosophy exists in order to make clear the alternatives in the philosophical culture we inherit. And to the extent that critical thinking can affect the future, philosophy assumes its responsibility with the other subjects of the college to provide instruction, methodology, and insight in this area as well.
