The Department of Philosophy also sponsors Ethics in the Public Sphere and the Philosophy Club.

Program for the Study of Religion

Scholars study religion because we are fascinated by human beings. We seek insight into what people believe; what they desire from life; why they act as they do; how they understand and cope with calamity and suffering.

For this reason, a scholarly focus on religion fosters an understanding of the human condition as well as the history of human culture. The study of religion is a scholarly field dedicated to problems, questions, and frames for intellectual attention regarding how human beings inhabit their social and cultural worlds.
