Comparative Philosophy
Comparative Philosophy prepares students for a wide range of meaningful work through study of diverse systems and cultures of critical thinking and transformative living.
Why Study Comparative Philosophy at Randolph?
Randolph’s innovative comparative philosophy program challenges students to look beyond Eurocentric thought traditions, 宗教, 和哲学.
比以往任何时候都更重要, the chaotic state of the world demands responsible inquiry, intercultural competence, 道德推理, 和正义.
Students gain competence in multiple philosophical cultures, 允许对哲学研究采用广泛的比较方法, examining issues from multiple angles and perspectives.
Courses are multidisciplinary, geared toward public engagement, and representative of thinkers from throughout the world.
The goal of comparison is not to prefer one against the rest, but rather to enlarge our students’ vision and imagination and thus their capacity for negotiating difficult problems of self and society.

道德碗
每年, Randolph students compete in the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges’ (VFIC) statewide collegiate 道德碗.
The 道德碗 team takes on students from other Virginia colleges and universities in the debate and consideration of applied ethics—real world dilemmas that affect people’s lives in increasingly complex ways.
Topics range from ethics and technology, 医疗保健, 教育, and business to social justice, 政治, and civic responsibility.
Summer Research Program
花一个夏天与教授密切合作,专注于比较思想的一个特定方面.
Randolph’s intensive eight-week Summer Research Program enables students to work with professors on a research of their own design; live in a residence hall on campus, participate in on-campus summer events, attend special seminars with guest speakers; and share the progress and results of their research.
Symposium of Artists and Scholars
Modeled after a traditional academic conference, the SAS brings together students of all disciplines to share the results and highlights of the best work being produced at the College – oral presentations, readings of 创造性的工作s, 表演, exhibitions of student artwork, and poster presentations.
