"I believe that an interdisciplinary approach to education is vitally important. At a basic level, philosophical study helps students to become careful and complete thinkers, which is an asset no matter what major one may have. More importantly, careful thinkers are a necessary component of a well-functioning democracy. This makes philosophic study not only valuable for the student, but an essential activity for society. "
