跨学科研究与项目
You can think of the philosophy classroom as a laboratory of ideas that range from politics and ethics to artificial intelligence, 环境, 还有更多. By analyzing conceptual foundations and methodo逻辑al assumptions of various intellectual disciplines, philosophy lends itself well to interdisciplinary projects, leading to novel and fruitful developments in different fields by reconceiving things that have been taken for granted or by shedding light on things that have been overlooked. Many philosophy minors have applied a philosophical approach to their major field of study in order to produce original research and projects that combine the two disciplines. 过去的项目包括:
- A thesis on the ethics of coastal adaptation strategies made necessary by global warming
- A project that explored how stoicism was incorporated into the lives and politics of the Founding Fathers
- 对种族化的人的同化的研究
- A cross-cultural and historical investigation of the belief that the act of murder contaminates the killer
