INSTRUCTORS IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS OFFERING INSTRUCTION IN THIS DEPARTMENT Paul Shorey, PH.D., Professor and Head of the Department of the Greek Language and Literature. WILLARD CLARK GORE, PH.D., Assistant Professor of Psychology. Walter Eugene CLARK, PH.D., Instructor in Sanskrit and Indo-European Comparative Philology. KARL TINSLEY WAUGH, PH.D., Associate in Psychology. The primary aim of the Department is to give training in the methods of philosophic inquiry, reflection, and statement, and thus to equip competent teachers and investigators in the various branches. The Department aims to train specialists, but only upon the basis of an adequate general knowledge. Candidates for the Doctor's degree are required to select for special attention, and to make some particular investigation in one of the four fields of Logic and Metaphysics, History of Philosophy, Aesthetics, Ethics; but this specialization presupposes sufficient knowledge of the other branches, and also of Psychology, to enable one to direct, and, if necessary, to undertake teaching in them. In the second place, it is believed that, in the existing state of life, Philosophy has much of value for those who do not intend to specialize in it. It is doubtful if there ever was a time when Philosophy lay so close to the various sciences, social, historical, and biological, on one side, and to the requirements of practical life on the other, as at present. The organization of courses in the Department is intended to recognize, for example, the relation of Logic to Mathematics, and to the social and natural sciences; of the History of Philosophy to literature and to political and economic history; of Ethics to the economic, social, and political sciences, as well as to preparation for the ministry, law, and journalism; and of Aesthetics to literature and art. Students in other departments who are expecting to take Philosophy as a subsidiary subject for the Master's or Doctor's degree should see the Head of the Department at once after coming into University residence, and arrange for this work in advance. Nine majors are usually required where Philosophy is the minor subject for the Doctor's degree. The equivalents of the elementary courses in Psychology, Ethics, and Logic are required as antecedents. Work will be assigned according as the principal work is in literary, scientific, or historical and social lines. A student presenting himself for the Doctor's degree with Philosophy as the chief subject will be required to have the equivalents of courses 4-6 in the History of Philosophy, and at least three courses in Psychology; the latter may be either experimental or general, or a suitable combination of the two. He may further specialize, as already indicated, in the History of Philosophy, Ethics, Aesthetics, and Logic and Metaphysics. In case the antecedent work in elementary Psychology, Logic, and Ethics, and the History of Philosophy does not come up to the proper standard, the candidate for an advanced degree will be required to take the undergraduate work in these subjects. As a rule, students coming from institutions where advanced work in Philosophy is not provided will find it advantageous to do some review work here. After the completion of the required work (courses 1, 2, or 3), undergraduate students wishing to do further work in Philosophy should take courses 4-6, or 7, 9, 40, 43. Candidates for honors in the Senior Colleges should take from four to six courses, selected from courses 3-9, 33, 43. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION INTRODUCTORY COURSES NOTE.-One course selected from courses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, is required for the Bachelor's degree in the Colleges of Arts and Literature. One course from these or from the Department of Psychology is required in the College of Science. Students who desire a minimum amount are advised to take one of courses 1-3. Those who wish to elect work, may, with the advice of the instructor, begin with 4 or 5. Course 9 is recommended to students interested in the natural sciences. These courses may be taken by students in the Junior Colleges who have completed twelve majors of work. References to courses in other departments are indicated by Roman numerals: 1A= Psychology; VI=Sociology; XI=Greek. 1. Introduction to Philosophy.-The aim of the course will be (1) to introduce the student to the philosophic point of view for considering the problems of nature, civilization, institutions, art, conduct, and religion; (2) in |
