Why Study Philosophy

Because philosophy is the most revolutionary form of knowledge.

It ponders without prejudice the fundamental questions of man: Who am I? Is there fate or do we define our lives? What is death? What do I owe others? What can I know for sure and what can’t I know? What is meaningful in our lives as individuals and as a community?
It helps and inspires us to create a personality that is autonomous, self-confident, with the ability to empathize and understand reality.
It trains us, more than any other science, in critical thinking, analysis, and the ability to question any belief.
It introduces us to the history of human thought and ideas in the most general and comprehensive way. It studies a huge range of great texts, thinkers and ways of thinking that have shaped how we think today, even if they belong to different eras and traditions.
It acquaints us with modern developments in science and art, illuminating their importance and value for man.
It combines the precision and systematicity of science with the beauty and creativity found in art.
