Philosophy begins in wonder...
"… it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize. … [T]hey were pursuing science in order to know, and not for any utilitarian end.” Aristotle, Metaphysics
Philosophy questions...
...in order to seek truth, it is necessary once in the course of our life, to doubt, as far as possible, of all things. Descartes, Principles of Philosophy
Meet the philosophy faculty...
Philosophy is not a body of doctrine but an activity. ...Without philosophy thoughts are, as it were, cloudy and indistinct: its task is to make them clear and to give them sharp boundaries. Wittgentstein Tractatus
Philosophy invites healthy skepticism...
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. Bertrand Russell
Philosophy inspires...
For this is an experience which is characteristic of a philosopher, this wondering: this is where philosophy begins and nowhere else. Plato, Theaetetus
Philosophy at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi
The Island University is proud to be the only university in the A&M system outside College Station to offer both the minor (18hrs.) and the major (30hrs.) in philosophy. Boasting a long and storied tradition in Applied Ethics, the Philosophy Program has particular strengths which are rare outside much larger universities, including American Pragmatism and Eastern Philosophy.
