Philosophy Programs
Philosophy is the pursuit of a meaningful life through rational inquiry. To this end, as a philosophy student at FHSU, you will be trained in logic and the dialectical skills of asking good questions, giving reasonable answers, identifying the strongest objections, and replying appropriately.
While practicing these skills, and achieving a working understanding of the central questions of metaphysics, epistemology, and value theory, you will come to be respectful (mindful of the concerns of others), open-minded (willing to change views under the pressure of good reasoning), sincere (saying what one means and meaning what one says), and courageous (willing to work towards the truth in spite of contrary temptations and distractions).
Our courses, available online and on-campus, will prepare you to achieve personal and
professional success. You will develop:
- Advanced critical thinking
- Creative problem solving skills
- Facility discussing moral, aesthetic, and religious questions
- Appreciation for different perspectives
- Skill in clearly expressing your views
