Study of
Philosophy | |
 The
philosophy program at the University of Evansville has many purposes. First,
the program explores ideas about knowledge, ethics and reality which have
been instrumental in shaping the human condition. Second, it teaches
students to become critical thinkers and readers, aiding in the development
of skills in analyzing arguments, uncovering hidden assumptions and bringing
alternative viewpoints to consciousness. The philosophy program encourages
the critical examination of the philosophical presuppositions of science,
law, art, religion and other areas of human concern. The Department of
Philosophy and Religion believes that the search for meaningful life work
must be balanced by an education that guides and enlightens. Students who
study philosophy find challenging course work in the liberal arts and
sciences, experienced faculty and a campus brimming with vitality.
