The Department of Philosophy at Stevens Institute of Technology is
committed to fostering a climate of free inquiry and intellectual
stimulation by providing students with a forum where they can
express their opinions, challenge beliefs, and exchange ideas in a
productive and constructive manner. Our curriculum includes
courses that examine both the history of philosophy, as well as
such diverse topics as philosophy of science, aesthetics,
political philosophy, ethics, existentialism, feminism, philosophy
of language and cognitive theory -- just to name a few. Our
dynamic and award-winning faculty represent a wide range of
interests and expertise in the discipline, and are all active in
the wider philosophical community.
The study of philosophy offers students the opportunity to reflect
deeply on their chosen fields of study and assist them in gaining
the kind of insight necessary to make significant contributions in
their professional fields. We invite all students to participate
in our classes and events and look forward to helping them achieve
the most they can as students, scholars, professionals, and most
importantly, human beings.

In addition to having the opportunity to take exciting and
engaging classes, Stevens students are invited to engage in more
informal philosophical discussions during one of our many
extra-curricular events. For example, the Stevens
Philosophy Club holds weekly meetings where we discuss a variety
of engaging topics including things like "just war", stem-cell
research, censorship, and the like. In addition, the club
organizes such popular events as film nights, interdisciplinary
colloquia, game nights, as well as trips to enjoy a variety of
cultural events, including theatre, music, and art in and around
the New York City area.
Stevens students may choose philosophy as a single major, as part
of a double major, or as a minor. In addition, the curriculum of
the department contributes to the following interdisciplinary
programs: Science and Technology Studies; Women, Gay and
Gender Studies; Turkish and Middle Eastern Studies.
