What Is Philosophy?

The word philosophy literally translates to 'love of wisdom.' When you study philosophy you pursue wisdom through reasoning and critical reflection about the most fundamental principles, concepts, and presuppositions that underlie our understanding of the world and the way we live our lives.

BE THE REASON

The philosophy program at FSU provides a personally enriching opportunity to reflect deeply on ourselves, our world, and our interactions. Beyond its personal value, the program builds critical thinking, communication, and ethical awareness skills that are highly transferable to diverse academic and professional careers.
