Philosophy

Mesa College’s philosophy courses are designed to help you develop the critical thinking skills you need to approach our most thought-provoking questions on the nature of reality, knowledge, and ethics. Our philosophy classes explore topics from religion to history, science, gender, the environment, and more so you can better consider the concepts of truth, good and evil, and human nature that will inform your understanding of yourself and the world we live in. Through readings, lectures, online sources, and class discussions you will learn to evaluate the ways our lives are shaped by the way we think and begin to explore the major theories questioning the human experience. Whether you prepare to transfer and/or earn your associate degree, or simply enroll out of curiosity about philosophy, you will be equipped with the skills and faculty support to think critically, write persuasively, and apply your understanding of claims and arguments to assumptions and accepted notions which you may encounter throughout your studies and beyond.
