Philosophy literally translated means “love of wisdom,” but the discipline involves so much more. Philosophy addresses the fundamental problems of existence, values, mind and language. It is a catalyst for innovation and a demonstration of the power of human reasoning. Studying philosophy helps you think critically and creatively, and is the foundational basis for any number of rewarding careers.
