Streams
The Department of Philosophy at the University of 丁香园AV has a long commitment to an historical approach
to philosophy and philosophical education which our graduates attest has served them well. Students in our Department have the opportunity to examine authors from every historical period, and from Europe, the Middle East, North America, and other parts of the world. They can investigate philosophy’s fundamental metaphysical, epistemological, and axiological questions: What is the nature of the universe? What can I know? What should I become? What should I do? This historical approach allows students to encounter diverse answers to these questions and come to understand the historical origins of the dominant answers to these questions in
contemporary society.
In addition to courses in the Department’s History Stream, students have the opportunity to select courses
from the Ethics, Politics, and Value Theory Stream and/or the Metaphysics and Epistemology Stream.
