Study of Philosophy
Supported by the Department of Philosophy and Religion

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.
