Philosophy Emphasis, Associate of Arts Direct Transfer Agreement, AA-DTA

Overview
Philosophy is the “love of wisdom,” literally, but as a discipline of study it embraces a wide field of endeavors pursuing questions around human knowledge, behavior, and speculation about the subtler aspects of existence. Philosophy draws upon schools of thought and cultural practices from all around the world, for the past several millennia, for its broadest history and application, but embraces matters down to the present day and the concerns of modern people. The impact of philosophy on world culture, on religious movements, and on questions of daily functioning in society cannot be overstated. What does it mean to be human? What is the nature of knowledge, and how to we acquire it? What is the best form of political, economic, and governmental systems for optimum human well-being? Should there be limits on technological improvements and genetic engineering based on important shared cultural values, or should research and development in these areas proceed unfettered without regard for such objections? These questions, and many others, can be pursued in courses in the discipline of Philosophy.
