New ideas emerge from deep thought and collaborative work. The Department of Philosophy embraces an interdisciplinary, rigorous, applied and relevant approach to our ancient discipline. We ask foundational and conceptual questions about human life, society and experience. We explore the role of values and ethics; the nature of mathematics and methods of science; the unique aspects of humanity, such as language — to name just a few.
With your support on Giving CMU Day, the Dietrich College’s Department of Philosophy will be positioned to shape the future of inquiry about not only traditional philosophical questions, but also across disciplines. We can help put science on a firmer footing, guide technology development (especially in artificial intelligence) towards more ethical outcomes and shape our understanding of what it means to be human.
