在这里学什么？

Philosophy is the systematic study of questions any thoughtful human being faces concerning the nature of knowledge, reality, thought, and value. What is valuable and what is value? What gives thought and language meaning? What is truth, and how can we know it? The main value of philosophy lies in its contribution to a liberal arts education. It can, however, also provide excellent preparation for a wide variety of professions (notably, law), because of the training it provides in rigorous thinking and incisive and clear writing. Philosophy cuts across other academic disciplines by examining their concepts, methods, and presuppositions. So a concentration or academic minor in Philosophy can also be a superb complement to a concentration in another field.

Why Philosophy?

If you had to describe philosophy in one word, you might use questions. Philosophy addresses a range of inquiries, some quite familiar (Why should I be moral? What creates a just society?) and others less so (What is time? Is it rational to rely on past experience as a guide to the future?). To engage in philosophy is to critically examine our methods of reasoning and our assumptions in ways that help us both better understand ourselves and the world around us.

In studying philosophy, students develop the skills necessary to analyze and clarify ideas and arguments, orally and in writing. Philosophy encourages the pursuit a wide range of intellectual interests, as almost any subject—mathematics, political theory, theology, law, cognitive science, linguistics, art—can be reviewed under a philosophical lens. Those who study philosophy frequently find it enjoyable and beneficial and go on to do exceptionally well at graduate and professional skills, in a wide range of careers (e.g. public service, journalism, business, computer science and medicine).

Careers & More

An increasing number of people are warning students against specializing too narrowly. Given the ever-changing economy, it is impossible to predict the particular skills that will be in demand in the decades to come. What is certain, however, is that people seeking stimulating, well-paying jobs will need to have the ability to analyze problems, to come up with imaginative solutions, and to present their ideas clearly and persuasively.

Philosophy helps students acquire these skills. This is why philosophy majors excel on the major entrance exams for professional schools, and why they advance more rapidly in their chosen professions than many of those who lack training in how to identify and challenge problematic assumptions and lines of thought.
