"To be a Christian thinker and learner is to be an explorer and a searcher for truth wherever it can be found."

Cliff Williams, Department Chair

"In Trinity's Philosophy Department, we learn to stake distinctively Christian claims in community, always with a view to insuring that our ideas and actions matter to the world at large. This involves courage and humility. The art of bringing these two together prepares us for whatever road we take in the future."

Chris Firestone, Assistant Professor of Philosophy

"When involved in 'the pursuit of knowledge' as a member of the philosophy department at Trinity, each student has nothing to lose and absolutely everything to gain. In any given class session, the views of both classical and modern philosophers are challenged right along with the expressed thoughts of those alongside you in the course. It would be nearly impossible not to learn under such circumstances."

Kay Seelinger, Class of 2004

"The faculty at Trinity College are equipped and willing to serve those who wish to embark on the philosophical journey."

Jeremy Allen, Class of 2002

"I cannot imagine that I would have received a better education in philosophy at any other school. The program goes beyond a simple engagement with the historically significant figures, ideas, and problems in philosophy. The professors actively introduce students to the world of philosophy as it lives and breathes today, seeking to move students to engage these issues in the places where they continue to be discussed. It is this aspect of the Trinity's philosophy department that enables apt philosophy students to become philosophers."

Nathan Jacobs, Class of 2001
