1993-1994 Academic Catalog

The philosophy is designed primarily for students anticipating graduate study in philosophy, theology, religion, or law. It serves to develop intellec– tual abilities important for life as a whole, beyond the knowledge and skills required for any particular profession. It cultivates the capacities and appetite for self-expression and reflection, for exchange and debate of ideas, for life-long learning, and for dealing with problems for which there are no easy answers. Philoso– phy is applicable to any subject-matter and any human context, making it an ideal undergraduate major for those going on to specialized graduate work. Candi– dates for graduate study should consult graduate school catalogs to determine specific undergraduate require– ments and adjust their programs at Cedarville College accordingly.
