The world of ordinary experience is founded upon a great number of presuppositions about the nature and extent of knowledge, the character of reality, and the foundations of value. The essential task of philosophy is to move beyond an uncritical acceptance of these presuppositions toward a reflective appraisal of the effect they have upon one's understanding of self and the world around one. By examining traditional philosophical positions as well as the ideas of influential contemporary thinkers, courses in the Department of Philosophy offer students the opportunity to develop informed and responsible positions of their own.
