Philosophy Curriculum

What can we know? How should we live? Of philosophy’s “big questions,” these are two of the most urgent for the times we’re living in—when misinformation is rampant and we face big challenges for how to live together, on earth, as individuals and in diverse communities. Our curriculum is designed to explore these questions in depth so that students can connect their learning across the classes in the major and between class and life.
