哲学

哲学 courses at Pasadena City College seek to answer fundamental questions about knowledge, life, and human nature. Take a course to satisfy a General 教育 requirement or to prepare to transfer and earn a degree in the social sciences.

Philosophers do not fear the big questions. We know that the answers to questions of existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language allow us to more meaningfully direct our focus.

By studying 哲学 at PCC, you will be studying general questions about the nature and structure of the world and our place in it. As a philosophy student, you will acquire 技能 in the philosophical method, critical thinking, writing, and analyzing and evaluating complex arguments. You will also learn how to clearly present both sides of an argument and to evaluate various perspectives critically. By preparing to continue studying philosophy at a four-year university and completing your degree, you will be prepared to pursue a career that requires high-level analytic reasoning 技能.

Each semester we offer a variety of 哲学 courses. Use the links below to see full course descriptions and our current offerings.
