The Philosophy
major requires twelve courses (including the prerequisites and the senior
requirement) that collectively expose majors to a wide range of
philosophy and philosophers. The Philosophy curriculum is divided into
three large groups: history of philosophy, metaphysics and epistemology,
and ethics and value theory. In history of philosophy, majors are
required to take (1) either the introductory sequence in philosophy (PHIL
125a and 126b) or both terms of Directed Studies, and (2) an additional,
third course in history of philosophy. Majors must take two courses in
metaphysics and epistemology and two courses in ethics and value theory.
Majors must also take two seminars and satisfy the senior requirement as
described below. Prerequisite to the major are two introductory or
intermediate philosophy courses.
