"Philosophy at Vanderbilt encompasses areas of reflection as wide as the human mind. The field raises the most fundamental questions about all human activities and the context in which they occur. What can we know? Does science reveal the real structure of the world? What of religion and psychology? How should we live our lives individually and in society? What place does art have in our lives, and what is it, anyway? These are but a few of the questions that philosophers address.As part of the process of study, every student is introduced to the history of philosophy and to a set of methods for analysis and reflection. They acquire critical skills that allow them to analyze complex materials and arguments with precision and clarity. Each student also has the opportunity to work with award-winning faculty. The Department of Philosophy focuses on the students and on imparting the skills that will prepare them for successful lives and careers."
