Many people believe our social, political, and personal perspectives are merely inherited - either through genetics or socioeconomic circumstances. Philosophy challenges this notion, showing that we actively shape our existence through the decisions we take, the language we use, the ideas we cultivate, and our relationships with others.
King's philosophy program provides a broad curriculum with options to specialize in global philosophical traditions or social/political theory. Following humanistic teaching approaches, our courses foster analytical thinking, deep reading comprehension, persuasive argumentation, and most importantly, philosophical contemplation. The distinctive first-year philosophy requirement for all majors not only strengthens fundamental philosophical skills but also enables students to build vibrant academic communities.
