Philosophy

Philosophy

Every HFCC student has the opportunity to reach beyond training to achieve a comprehensive quality education. The intellectual life begins and ends with philosophy. Philosophy is the love of wisdom. Wisdom is based on knowledge and insight, not on preferences or subjective beliefs.

HFCC's sequence of courses in philosophy is academically designed to develop critical and creative thinking skills, and to encourage intellectual integrity in the pursuit of objective methods of confirmation or disconfirmation of beliefs.

HFCC's philosophy courses challenge serious students to engage in focused inquiry, to expose fallacious reasoning, and to develop sensitive approaches to understanding, evaluating, deciding or acting in any area of significant human concern. 

There are no prerequisites for any philosophy course.
