Interdisciplinary Philosophy
In the area of "interdisciplinary philosophy", our graduate M.A. or Ph.D. programs in philosophy offers the student the opportunity to take up professional studies in "phenomenology" and "existential philosophy" as reflected by such continental European thinkers as: Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger, Jaspers, Nietzsche, as well as, Sartre, Buber, Merleau-Ponty, Gurwitsch, Schutz, Gebser, Levinas, and others. Nevertheless, it is simply not enough to merely study these continential thinker's separately within a vacuum or within a contemporary philosophical movement of thought at the Institute. On the contrary, an "interdisciplinary studies" education demands that "sustained" philosophical dialogue be brought together into a meaningful whole and "interfaced" with other closely related disciplines such as integral psychology and religion.
