Philosophy - Gordon College - Wenham

Philosophy from Gordon College - Wenham is a Campus Bachelor Philosophy degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. THE DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY The mission of the philosophy department at Gordon College is to cultivate an intellectually rigorous wondering not only as an expression of our natural desire to understand, but also as an inherent consequence of our Christian commitment. Faith seeks understanding, and understanding--even that which is rigorous and critical--ultimately supports faith. COURSE OF STUDY The major is divided into historical and topical courses: Historical--focuses on the development of philosophical theories, controversies and movements. Topical--centers on systematic questions in logic, epistemology, metaphysics, ethics and the philosophy of religion. Both our historical and topical courses aim to: Acquaint you with the great ideas, arguments and figures from various philosophical traditions. Enable you to gain proficiency in the intellectual skills necessary for critical and systematic thinking, reading and writing. Encourage you to explore the coherence of a Christian worldview and its relevance to philosophical questions. In the Department we not only strive to help you excel in the major, but we also encourage you to double major. We have students who have combined philosophy with Literature, Biblical Studies, Music, Psychology, as well as many other disciplines. As a double major (or minor) you will be encouraged to explore and critique the philosophical assumptions of your other field of inquiry. View more details on Gordon College - Wenham, MA .
