Prospective students: Check out the Philosophy page in Majors, Minors, and Concentrations
Philosophy explores the basic features of lives that often go unexamined. Plato's Socrates famously said that the unexamined life is not worth living. The Bryn Mawr Department of Philosophy introduces students to some of the most compelling responses, both historical and contemporary, to questions of human existence and knowledge. It grooms students for a variety of fields which require analysis, conceptual precision, argumentative skill, and clarity of thought and expression.
The Philosophy Department welcomes all students—those who would like just a course or two and those who would like to go further and either minor or major in philosophy. Students in any major can benefit from philosophically reflecting on the assumptions and activities of any discipline whether it is in the natural and social sciences or in the humanities and arts.
