Hi, have you heard of philosophy?


Hi, Phil major here. I did math. I did logic, which was required. My peers in other humanities generally did not. But Phil might be the only exception.

Further I ended up taking a class that actually read original Greek texts, which isn't all that common even within the department I was at.

My point still stands.


One can graduate in philosophy without having heard a formal logic lecture. Philosophy only has rigor in some branches, most modern ones are less rigorous and more social, political or economical.
