For instance, ethics asks: what is good and bad, right and wrong? What is justice? Epistemology asks: what is knowledge as opposed to mere opinion or belief? How do we justify knowledge claims? Aesthetics asks: what is art and what is beauty? Logic asks: what are the rules of critical thinking and sound argument?</p> <p>Philosophy encourages us to uncover presuppositions, to scrutinize arguments, and to reflect clearly and creatively about the most fundamental questions informing our legal, political, scientific, artistic, and moral pursuits. The Philosophy Department at Middlebury explores these pursuits through a diverse offering of courses, on topics both historical and contemporary. Students well-versed in philosophy gain outstanding preparation for graduate study and law school, as well as for medicine, business, and many other professions.</p> <p> </p> aesthetics Aristotle continental epistemology ethics feminism Greek justice Kant language law logic metaphysics morality morals Nietzsche philosophy Plato political reason science social Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:35:50 +0000 Patricia Dougherty pdougher@middlebury.edu 44731 at http://www.middlebury.edu
