Want a
better glimpse into current and upcoming courses in the
Philosophy Department? Then you should contact or visit some members of the Department!
Until you do, however, here are more detailed descriptions for some
Fall 2007 courses. Spring 2008 course
previews coming in the spring.
"Philosophy is to be
studied not for the sake of any definite answers to its questions,
since no definite answers can, as a rule, be known to be true, but
rather for the sake of the questions themselves: because these
questions enlarge our conception of what is possible, enrich our
intellectual imagination and diminish the dogmatic assurance which
closes the mind against speculation; but above all because, through
the greatness of the universe which philosophy contemplates, the
mind is also rendered great, and becomes capable of that union with
the universe which constitutes its highest good." -- Lord
Bertrand Russell
