Philosophy
Philosophy is a discipline that focuses on knowledge, reality, and values. Philosophy courses at Las Positas invite students to explore fundamental questions, such as Who am I? Does God exist? What is justice? Students in philosophy classes study traditional answers to these questions and are invited to develop their own positions. Philosophy introduces students to perspectives on human culture that enrich the study of other fields in the social sciences and humanities. The study of philosophy develops important skills of critical thinking, analysis, creativity, and communication that will help students succeed in the workplace.
