Philosophy at CSU

Philosophy can be described as thinking about thinking. Plato, in the Apology, has Socrates say "an unexamined life is not worthy of a human being." The philosopher must examine both on which beliefs we act and how we come to form our belief. The basic divisions in philosophy all come from examining our basic assumption in different areas of human thought. Crucial to examining our basic assumption is the study of logic: the study of the structure of arguments and learning to recognize which are truth-preserving and which are fallacious.
