Always Thinking: Philosophy in the Liberal Arts

An article in which friend and colleague Prof. Paul Nnodim, a philosophy professor at MCLA, talks about the real-world value and relevance of the study of philosophy.

"While many students who major in philosophy may not become philosophy teachers, they certainly have a wide range of career perspectives and opportunities," says
Nnodim. "Some may pursue a career in law, business, management, as well as in
government, non-profit or international organizations. The skills they gain
studying philosophy complement most careers."
