philosophy

Asking and answering the fundamental questions of life are at the core of the Department of Philosophy at SMU. As you rationally examine the nature of the world, you will discover — using history, social science, mathematics, and other disciplines — the connections to ethics, society, and culture.

The courses we offer span some of today’s most engaging issues, from contemporary moral problems to business ethics … not to mention the philosophical teachings of the ages. In addition, our very active Philosophy Club has many speaker events, dinners, and social activities. Philosophy faculty members conduct a considerable amount of research, often involving students in their work.
