Department of Philosophy

Philosophy is a fundamental discipline which provides opportunities of discourses to have functional relations with and communicate with one another. It is also a basis of all the humanities and natural sciences including law, medicine, medical science, economics, and art. Accordingly, philosophy is not only a symbolic sign of culture; thereby, grasping the essence of humans, society, culture, and the world in a holistic manner through critical and creative thinking, but also a discipline that provides an academic foundation for students to grow into real professionals in any field.

Philosophy greatly helps students improve their ability in critical thinking, logical writing, and reasonable communication, which are emphasized in modern societies. Communication ability plays an important role in acquiring professional knowledge in each field, particularly in a knowledge-based society in which majors and occupations tangle delicately like a cobweb and a pluralistic society in which values that are seemingly contradictory with one another might coexist. Responding to such a need of our time, philosophy provides concrete theories and methods to improve communication ability, to clearly understand others' writing and speaking, to logically and persuasively express one's thoughts and assertions, and further, to accept more reasonable opinions. In this light, professionals from every field actively advise to choose philosophy not only as a major, but also as a double major or minor.
