Programs概述

Our students learn to read difficult texts, write insightful analyses, and encourage each other to grow both academically and spiritually. The philosophy major takes students from the fundamentals of philosophical inquiry, through the history of major philosophical movements and thinkers, to advanced work on theories of knowledge, ethics, and metaphysics.

Distinctively Christian philosophy seeks to study the ideas and concepts that compose a given worldview from the standpoint of biblical presuppositions. 这样的结局 activity is to assist students in developing a Christian worldview that enables them better to live in a way that pleases God and that consequently provides for a more 有意义的生活. Philosophy majors complete a capstone project in their senior year that applies all they have learned to a problem or concern facing the Church or the broken world that the Church is called to love.

Teaching Philosophy at 约大学 is a delightful challenge. 学生们 academically gifted, spiritually serious, and culturally engaged. They ask hard questions, and sweetly push back when my answers are lame. Philosophy students at Covenant encourage and push each other, maintaining a community of inquiry and gospel insight that goes beyond even the ambitions plans that their professors have for them.
