class=\"c_content\">\n<p>According to the ancient Greeks, philosophers are \u2018lovers of wisdom.\u2019\u00a0 Loving wisdom means asking life\u2019s \u201cbig questions\u201d and daringly trying to answer those questions with one\u2019s own reasons.\u00a0 In philosophy classes at Ramapo we all become philosophers.\u00a0 And as philosophers, some questions we ask ourselves are:\u00a0 What is an argument, and why make one?\u00a0 Does God exist?\u00a0 What is the connection between my mind and body?\u00a0 How do we know we exist?\u00a0 What do we know for sure?\u00a0 How should we treat ourselves or other people?\u00a0 Are we free or determined?\u00a0 Several classes at Ramapo have a particularly practical emphasis.\u00a0 In these classes we might ask:\u00a0 Is globalization good for humankind?\u00a0 What are the arguments in favor of or against capitalism?\u00a0 Is euthanasia morally permissible?\u00a0 Should art ever be censored?<\/p>\n<p>Students of philosophy study the classic answers to these questions, as well as formulate their own answers.\u00a0 In doing so, philosophy students develop excellent reading, writing, and critical thinking skills.<\/p>\n<p>The best reason to be a philosophy major is because one is curious about these \u201cbig questions.\u201d\u00a0 Yet there are more practical reasons, as well.\u00a0 Philosophical study is excellent preparation for graduate school.\u00a0 It has been well documented that those who study philosophy do better on graduate admissions tests (for law, medical, and graduate school) than those who did not.<\/p>\n<p>More generally employers are looking for employees who have good critical thinking skills.\u00a0 Philosophy majors have been specially trained in how to think through long-standing problems in original ways.\u00a0 It is unlikely that anyone ever got a job because he could recite Plato\u2019s Allegory of the Cave.\u00a0 However, a skills-based background in philosophy can develop proficiency in communication, analysis, argumentation, and reflection, necessary for any position of responsibility.\u00a0 Philosophy has proved to be a good preparation for jobs in business, the helping professions, as well as public service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle
