Statement of Purpose

Furman University strives to develop in its students a passionate commitment to liberal learning. The Department of Philosophy is central to this endeavor. We seek to introduce students to the most important philosophical thinkers, movements, and texts in the history of philosophy and in the contemporary world, from both Western and non-Western perspectives. We do so with the aim of teaching students to be critical thinkers, inquisitive learners, clear writers, and engaged citizens.
