Philosophy uses the gift of human reason to explore the “big questions” about the nature of reality and of the human person, about human meaning, purpose, and values, about the nature of God, and about how to live. Philosophy at Madonna examines these questions from diverse perspectives, encouraging critical thinking about them, while giving particular attention to the Catholic ethical and philosophical tradition. Madonna offers a minor in Philosophy.
