Welcome to the Philosophy Department
at the University of Denver!
Philosophy is an intricately articulated, living human activity of critical and creative thinking with a still open future. As such, however, it is securely rooted in a rich and fertile tradition which goes all the way back to the very beginnings of Western civilization, with parallel developments in other cultures.
The curriculum in philosophy is designed to give students a broad grounding in the literature and methods of philosophy and in philosophical approaches to contemporary problems. Philosophy is inherently foundational for all other disciplines, and philosophical training sharpens the student's ability to reason cogently, to formulate basic concepts and questions clearly, and to work intelligently at answering human problems. Philosophy curriculum is balanced between historical study, philosophical problem areas, and applied courses.
