The study of philosophy is an important part to the foundation of a liberal arts education. Courses in philosophy help to provide a deeper understanding of the concepts which have formed human cultures while at the same time to help develop students’ skills in critical analysis, their ability to write and interpret texts from all cultures, and to examine the ideas behind theoretical thinking. A study of philosophy allows an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the choice made by individuals and by groups by exploring and examining a variety of philosophical writings to allow a greater understanding of the world from the past and into the future.
