Philosophers critically question the foundations of past and contemporary world views. In our discipline, we study the views of Plato, Confucius, Ibn Sina, Aquinas, Sor Juana, Kant, Octavio Paz, Nietzsche, Simone de Beauvoir, Einstein, and Cornell West, to name just a few. Each of these intellectual giants establishes a new framework from which to assess our own realities, values, and experiences.
