Philosophy Master from Boise State University
In order to do philosophy well, one must have a high level of reading comprehension, clarity of thought, and good communications skills (both oral and written). Put simply, then, philosophy teaches one how to read, think, speak, and write well. This might sound like a rather modest set of outcomes, but even a little reflection reveals that these skills are fundamental to all intellectual endeavors. It’s no coincidence that some of history’s greatest scientists, theologians, and artists were also philosophers.
