Philosophy AT WABASH

The department prepares students for life, for graduate study in philosophy, and for careers in many fields.The Wabash College philosophy department has a program that offers both many entry points to the study of philosophy and advanced work in small seminars.

The faculty represents a diversity of viewpoints and work to help students develop their own skills and points of view. A variety of classes at both introductory and more advanced levels provide opportunities for students to pursue their own interests.

Most of our courses are historically oriented, with an emphasis on looking at philosophical arguments. Students grow familiar with the classic texts of the Western philosophical tradition as they develop their own skills in reading difficult texts, writing, and thinking about philosophical issues.
