Philosophy at 密歇根州立大学丹佛
“Have the courage to use your own understanding.” 伊曼努尔康德
Philosophy begins in wonder. 我是什么?? How can I know things? What is the best life for a human being? 什么是正义?? 真理是什么?? Philosophy is the attempt to understand and answer questions such as these in a rigorous, critical and open-ended manner. No belief is left unquestioned. No prejudice respected. No authority bowed to. Philosophy is unlike other disciplines. It is not learning what others have discovered. It is discovering how to learn, in a genuine and personal way, to use one’s own mind to think about oneself, the world and the relation between the two.

Donate to John Kennedy's Memorial Scholarship
John Kennedy, a longtime affiliate faculty member, passed away at the end of the Fall 2022 semester. He was known for his kindness and compassion towards colleagues and students and will be missed deeply.
John earned his 文学学士 at 密歇根州立大学丹佛, majoring in Philosophy and minoring in History. He went on to earn a Master of Arts in Philosophy at the University of 丹佛, focusing his studies on Continental Philosophy, especially Kant and Hegel.
John went on to study in 爱尔兰 and Iowa, as he put it in his own words. “Later I would have the privilege to read Philosophy at Trinity College, 都柏林, 爱尔兰, exploring the thought of George Berkeley with the noted scholar, E.J. 弗隆. At the end of this brief excursion I spent a number of years at the University of Iowa as a student in the 研究生 Department of Philosophy studying Kant and Ethical Theory with the guidance of Moltke Gram, the noted Kant scholar, as well as other members of their fine faculty.”
John was a valued colleague and friend and his loss has made a profound impact. In memorial of John, we are asking for donations to a scholarship in his honor. The John Kennedy Memorial Scholarship will help Philosophy students further their academic careers here at 密歇根州立大学丹佛. You may donate by using this link.
