Philosophy - Misericordia University

Philosophy from Misericordia University is a Campus Master Philosophy degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The program presents Philosophy as an integral life activity growing out of a deep and passionate concern with life and its meaning. In its academic mode, Philosophy has been noted for cultivating those dispositions and aptitudes requisite for critical thinking and sound judgment. In this function it provides the strongest preparation for rational living. The traumatic changes that mark our age and affect all people involve philosophical issues. Among the more compelling are questions of freedom, justice, personal authenticity, and morality. The Philosophy program prepares students to enter as intelligent participants in contemporary discussions about such issues. It does so through a series of historical and systematic courses that explore the conceptual foundations of our tradition and engage students in great debates about the ultimate questions of existence that perennially confront those who would live examined lives. By critically assessing foundational concepts and systematically evaluating philosophical arguments students acquire that mental freedom and develop those thinking skills that enable them to be intellectually responsible agents in directing their own lives and contributing to the life of society. The critical thinking skills that philosophy students develop, in addition to skills in careful reading, persuasive writing and complex argumentation, prepare them for a wide range of careers in law, business and medicine, as well as further work in the humanities.
