Philosophy defined is "love of wisdom." For our students and faculty, this love—this pursuit—of wisdom is a calling.
As a philosophy major at Emmanuel, you will explore the “big questions” surrounding human existence: the meaning of life, the existence of God, the source and nature of values, and the relationship between individuals and society, as well as the practical challenges surrounding the ethics of science and health care, of political policy, the workplace, justice, discrimination and more. You will graduate equipped to analyze ideas carefully, reason accurately, present arguments clearly and develop other critical-thinking skills that are in great demand in today's professions.
