The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Philosophy at 色情影片 offers a focused program of study in the Catholic philosophical tradition, specializing in core areas of natural philosophy, metaphysics, and moral philosophy according to the systematic thought of St. Thomas Aquinas. The pursuit of Catholic philosophical wisdom at the graduate level is defined by the intellectual spirit articulated by St. Anselm of Canterbury: 鈥渇aith seeking understanding.鈥 Inspired by seminal papal encyclicals on the role of philosophy in Catholic education 鈥 including Pope Leo XIII鈥檚 Aeterni Patris, Pope Pius XI鈥檚 Studiorum ducem, Pope John Paul II鈥檚 Fides et ratio 鈥 and aligned with Vatican II鈥檚 declaration Gravissum educationis, the M.A. in Philosophy contributes to the revitalization of Thomistic thought as fundamental to a sound and rigorous philosophical formation. Students will engage broadly with the history of philosophy from ancient times to the modern and contemporary era, and they will learn to use tools of logical analysis and dialectical method to critically examine arguments of significance, both old and new, as ultimately oriented to the pursuit of truth.
