Philosophy

Faculty and Staff

Philosophy is part of the Department of Humanities at St. Cloud State University, along with English, History, and Languages and Cultures. The Department brings together disciplines devoted to exploring meaning, value, and human understanding.

In Philosophy, we examine fundamental questions about existence, ethics, and knowledge. Through reflection and reason, we cultivate habits of critical inquiry and moral awareness, which are central to the humanities’ mission of exploring what it means to be human.
