Studying philosophy at Holy Cross offers exceptional preparation for citizens of a globally interconnected world. It is an excellent stand-alone major, and an ideal second major or minor for students interested in examining the foundations of another discipline.
Dr. Lawrence Cahoone is Professor of Philosophy at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA, where he has taught since 2000. He holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
The minimum requirement for a major is 10 semester courses in philosophy. Students should work closely with their advisor and consult with the department Chair to determine how these requirements are best fulfilled in conjunction with their individual interests.
For its majors, minors and all students interested in deepening their liberal arts education, the department offers courses in the history of philosophy that span the entire tradition from the pre-Socratics to the philosophers of our own century.
Value Theory, Philosophical Traditions, Metaphysics and Epistemology, History of Western Philosophy
