Philosophy, Minor
The Philosophy Minor at Pratt introduces classical problems of the discipline in order to translate them into contemporary contexts. It challenges traditional wisdom with new arguments, considers better models for the future and the present, and studies major thinkers of the past whose influence continues to shape modern culture. Central to the Minor at Pratt are the fields of ethics and political theory (how to live, what is justice, what is power), the theory of knowledge (cognition, perception, authority, and doubt), and the philosophy of art (aesthetics, culture, and experience). Students shape their own program to satisfy their own intellectual curiosity by selecting courses in aesthetics, ethics and environmental philosophy, politics and biopolitics, metaphysics, logic, and others from a generous range of courses.
