About Bachelor of Arts - Philosophy
The philosophy major introduces students to the major figures and important issues in the world’s philosophical traditions.
Philosophy encourages students to challenge their assumptions about reality, meaning and value, and to explore questions concerning the nature of being and existence, the distinction between knowledge and opinion, the nature of truth, the proper role of government, the development of good character and the determination of right and wrong.
As we confront quandaries posed by the latest developments in science and technology, philosophy has never been more relevant. For example, hospital officials have hired medical ethicists (who hold doctorates in philosophy) to conduct seminars, develop lecture series, go along on rounds and confer with physicians and other medical personnel on important questions of life and death.
Although most philosophy majors do not go on to earn doctorates in philosophy, students may find that they are well-served by the major because of its emphasis on the importance of clarity of thought and expression, critical thinking and effective writing—valuable skills in any career. The philosophy major at Hood provides a good basic grounding in the discipline, as well as opportunities for directed research and internships.
