Socrates lecturing

THE PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF CALVIN COLLEGE houses one of the finest undergraduate philosophy programs in the nation. Calvin's Philosophy Department was the undergraduate and/or teaching home of four American Philosophical Association Presidents—Alvin Plantinga, Nicholas Wolterstorff, William Frankena and O. K. Bouwsma. To learn more see Nicholas Wolterstorff's history of the department: "How Calvin Fathered a Renaissance in Christian Philosophy."

The department's current faculty includes noted scholars in such fields as philosophy of religion, aesthetics, cultural criticism, ethics & moral philosophy, philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, continental philosophy and the history of philosophy who continue to contribute to the life of Christian philosophy—both nationally and internationally.
