Are faith and reason contrary ways of knowing?
What is real? What do we really know? What should we value? How should we live? And what connects things? These are the questions at the heart of Philosophy. Study subjects like metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and aesthetics, working closely with your professors and peers. Redeemer's Philosophy program will challenge and strengthen your faith as it aims for deep truth, and, as the apostle Peter puts it, “reasons for the hope within you.”
Philosophy is a Bachelor of Arts degree program. It is offered as a major and as a minor.
