Must anything that thinks have a language to think in? What is the best form of government? Where do human rights come from? What aesthetic values should inform our city planning? Want to learn the big ideas? How Marx turned Hegel on his head? How Darwinian evolution replaces intelligent design by monkeys at typewriters? Why Nietzsche said that God is dead? How to think in the post-modern world?

These questions and more are pondered and discussed in course work that offers students challenges and prepares them for careers in government service, law, medicine, teaching, business and the ministry.
