The curriculum covers key philosophical domains: Metaphysics (examining existence and mind-body relationships), Epistemology (investigating knowledge acquisition), Ethics/Aesthetics (evaluating moral and artistic values), Political Philosophy (designing just societies), Philosophy of Language (analyzing meaning and truth), Philosophy of Mind (exploring consciousness), and Logic (systematizing rational argumentation). The major offers extensive electives across these areas, developing critical reasoning skills valuable across professions while facilitating profound reflection on humanity's cosmic significance.
