The Philosophy Department at Colorado College has a legacy of encouraging diverse and innovative approaches to philosophical inquiry. However, its core mission has always been to represent the depth and richness of the history of Western philosophy. We continue to find this tradition replete with challenging ideas about the nature of human experience and viable alternatives to fashionable ways of thinking.
In our approach to philosophy, we strive to be eclectic in the best sense of the word: we embrace all modes of thought that offer the promise of wisdom and stimulate the development of critical, reflective habits of mind.
