Philosophy
What is there? What can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope for? Over the centuries, philosophers have struggled with such questions, and the study of philosophy retraces their voyages of thought. The great philosophical questions retain a perennial significance — the meditations of the ancient thinkers are directly connected with the problems of the contemporary world. Understanding how and why must be reckoned among the most important accomplishments of the truly educated person.
