Overview

In the Philosophy department at Muhlenberg College, students are trained to solve problems logically, to think creatively, to develop ideas collaboratively, to argue respectfully and persuasively, to write with depth, precision and clarity and to produce arguments that meet the highest standards of reasoning. These ‘soft’ skills are highly prized by every profession, including law, medicine, government, science, technology and business. And they are skills that unlikely to be replicated by robots or computer programs. Broadly put, philosophy is the endeavor to make sense of the world, of oneself and of one's relations with others. As scientific knowledge develops, rival theories proliferate and opinions multiply, people are faced with a dizzying array of competing claims. The beliefs to which they are committed have consequences for themselves and for those around them. In these sorts of circumstances, people have an urgent need to cultivate wisdom. A philosophical training will provide students with the ability to take a step back, analyze and assess conflicting claims. It will also provide them with the resources to reflect on the value of their actions: for themselves, for others, for other species and for future generations. Philosophy reflects on the meanings of the questions themselves and on the concepts and presuppositions that people take for granted as they are faced with practical dilemmas. It draws from the insights of great thinkers across the globe, past and present, and cultivates the ability to create new solutions.
