关于哲学
Innovators in fields from 艺术 to the sciences have recurrently turned to philosophy as a way of exploring new ideas 和 “thinking outside the box.” 哲学’s specialization in challenging assumptions 和 organizing 和 evaluating diverse lines of reasoning is part of why the highest research degree in any field is called the PhD (“doctor of philosophy”). Today’s philosophers combine logical methods with perspectives inspired by history, 艺术, 数学, 人文科学和自然科学. This interdisciplinarity allows philosophers to deepen our underst和ing of the fundamental nature of the mind, 现实, 身份, 道德, 和意义.
The skills that our 哲学 students learn will help them thrive in many different pursuits, 无论是校内还是校外. 哲学专业 have participated in internships 和 have presented papers at local 和 regional conferences on topics such as the philosophy of art, 道德心理学, 流行文化.
Recent 专业 have been awarded grant funding from organizations such as the Humanities Council SC 和 the South Carolina Independent Colleges 和 Universities for original research. A majority of 哲学 students receive honors awards 和 scholarships at Converse.

分析乘客的乘机出行
哲学系鼓励 分析乘客的乘机出行 并提供各种各样的旅游机会. Our students have traveled to Greece, Turkey, Eastern Europe, Spain, France 和 Italy.
在一个学习旅行的机会, students 和 faculty traveled throughout the Netherl和s 和 Germany, 访问ing historical sites associated with 16th 和 17th-century philosophers whose ideas helped define the modern age. Students experienced firsth和 where ideas including individuality of self, 宗教宽容, the rise of scientific approaches to 道德 和 human nature were derived. During the 16th 和 17th centuries the Netherl和s burgeoned as an intellectual hub, being a relative “safe space” for writers 和 thinkers to be free from religious persecution.
Converse philosophy students take a variety of courses including core curricula in logic, 道德, 还有哲学史. They also participate in a research-oriented senior capstone course in which they develop their own scholarly project on a philosophical topic.
The remaining courses for the degree offer wide flexibility to accommodate individual student interests 和 to keep with the interdisciplinary spirit of the field. 例如, while all philosophy 专业 will become knowledgeable about basic philosophical topics 和 methods, you may choose to take more courses focused on modern philosophical trends, while another might focus on issues in social 和 political philosophy (e.g. 种族、性别、经济、生物医学等.).
Most philosophy courses emphasize critical engagement with classic texts, 以书面或口头的形式表达或证明自己的观点, considering 和 evaluating different perspectives logically 和 fairly, finding connections between traditional philosophical questions 和 issues from other academic fields.
