Ringkasan program

This program introduces students to the history and diversity of philosophy while providing the necessary background and specialized skills for conducting original research and entering into contemporary philosophical debates. The philosophy curriculum is grounded in the study of canonical works that provide many of the concepts and strategies that inform the Western cultural heritage. These texts pose fundamental and challenging questions, offer a diversity of intellectual resources and possibilities for how college can understand us and the world, and manifest the contemporary significance of the history of philosophy. At the same time, philosophy at Marlboro is shaped by an appreciation for the depth, richness, and relevance of philosophical traditions from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. It also recognizes that the Western canon does not address many contemporary issues that call for philosophical understanding—including the environmental crisis; questions of race, gender, and sexuality; modern technology; social structures of oppression; and post colonialism. Philosophy courses at Marlboro are conducted as seminars, with class meetings devoted to clarification of the most prominent themes in the assigned text and collegial reflection on the questions and ideas they raise. The process cultivates habits of careful textual analysis, critical and integrative interpretation, precise verbal and written expression, and clear and creative thinking. This reasoned dialogue and rigorous engagement with texts transmutes presuppositions and cherished views into questions, thereby challenging rigid thinking and calling forth intellectual honesty and flexibility and a willingness to reconsider what might appear obvious.
