PHILOSOPHY }
Philosophy is today, as it has been in the past, a pursuit of an under-   dui
standing of the most basic traits of the universe and of man and his activities. §
\Vhile each of the special sciences examines a limited sphere, philosophy strives   Cal
for inclusive vision. Also it seeks clear definition of the fundamental meanings I
that underlie the various fields of human knowledge and practice. Hence it is j ms
the apex of the pyramid of science. Standards present in man’s knowing and i
acting are studied in logic, theory of knowledge, and ethics. Historical courses   {
survey the development of the most general thought patterns of successive l ig
epochs. Such systematic courses as metaphysics and philosophy of religion dis-   SS,
cuss ideas bearing on the nature and organization of the universe. Z gu
All the courses offered by the Philosophy Department are designed to   Ch
provide training which will constitute significant components of a liberal educa- p
tion. The special services of the Department may be listed as follows: (1)
Several of its courses provide such training in the broadest ideas and values of ml
civilization as will be useful for students working for a career in education,
engineering, commerce, law, agriculture, medicine, and nursing. (2) The De- m,
partment plans courses with a view to reinforcing and complementing various Sh
Arts and Sciences curricula, such as those in the humanities and the social as
studies, although it oHers courses of value to students in the physical and C]
biological sciences as well. In pre-professional programs leading toward medi- SU
cine and the ministry there are courses that are virtually indispensable. Such
courses as logic and ethics, which develop skill in reasoning and a more thor-
ough understanding of the principles of moral conduct, are of special value in Pr
all curricula. (3) Finally, it provides a program of study for students who
wish to major in philosophy itself, whether these students do or do not plan [X
to pursue philosophy beyond the A.B. degree. The Department offers training St.
as far as the M.A. degree and plans its graduate program with a view to pre- Ol
paring the student for eHective study elsewhere toward the Ph.D. degree and m
a career of teaching philosophy. V;
