Yells Office: LA 209d Telephone: 801-863-7435 The faculty of the Philosophy department is strongly committed to the value of diverse views and approaches, both to the study of Philosophy and to higher education in general. We value both teaching and research, and believe that each enhances and informs the other. Students in the Philosophy baccalaureate program have the opportunity to enroll in a broad and growing range of courses representing both the history of philosophy, and the central problems and issues of philosophical inquiry. The faculty is committed to exposing students to the history and central issues of both continental and analytic streams of contemporary philosophy. We believe that the study of philosophy is interesting, fun, challenging, and intrinsically rewarding, and that the creative, critical, and analytic skills that develop through philosophical training are of tremendous practical value both to everyday life, and to almost any vocation one can enter. Many students majoring in philosophy take advantage of work study opportunities in the department, including assisting faculty with their research. Advanced students may also have the opportunity to become a teaching assistant and lead discussion sections in philosophy classes.
