UNH Department of Philosophy

UNH Department of Philosophy B.A. in Philosophy Philosophy has always been the heart of liberal education, deepening and enriching the lives of those who pursue it. Are there moral rules?

The philosophy major provides students with the opportunity to confront a wide variety of questions, especially those that cannot be dealt with in the framework of other disciplines. Such questions include those about the ultimate nature of reality: Does God exist? Are minds distinct from bodies? Are there more things between heaven and earth than are dreamed of in science? Other questions probe w

hat it is to know: Do we know that material bodies external to our minds exist? What does it mean to justify a belief? Still other questions are about how we ought to act: What is a good person? How are they justified? Must we obey them? Philosophy also concerns itself with other disciplines: What makes something a work of art? What distinguishes a scientific theory from a religious theory or myth? Is capitalism amoral? Is legal authority moral or political?

A day with some of our students and Prof. Nina W! Our department is alive with young people who are doing fantastic things with their brains. They come here and make connections with peers and professors. Together we do philosophy in classes and here in our lounge. We ask questions. We attempt to give answers to those questions.

We’ll be taking part in the 603 Challenge from tomorrow. We are asking for your support! If you are able, and you are moved to, please donate to us. The link is specifically for philosophy. https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/44828/donations/new?&designation_1=philosophydepartment
