Student Says Practical Values of Philosophy Add Up
“A lot of philosophers are mathematicians,” observed Jahdia Feurtado. 这个列表 include, among others, Aristotle, René Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Bertrand Russell — and Jahdia Feurtado, a 十大彩票网投平台 double major in mathematics and 哲学.
The two disciplines have more in common than you’d think, said Feurtado (who pronounces 她的名字是“juh-DYE-uh”). “I’ve actually taken math classes that have taught the same things as some of my 哲学 classes.” And her first-ever 哲学 class explored symbolic logic, which uses symbols and mathematical variables instead of language to increase the precision of logical expressions.
Feurtado is from Saraland, just north of Mobile, so 南 was practically her hometown 大学. Also, “They gave me the best scholarship.”
“它会帮助你 think more logically, to solve more problems.”
She’s happy with her choice of universities. “I genuinely love the 哲学 department 在南方，”她说. “所有的人都很好. 他们的理解. 他们会帮 如果你需要帮助. 他们真的是好人.”
She contended that learning 哲学 has great practical value. “它会帮助你 think more logically, to solve more problems,” she said. “这确实帮助了我 with my writing, with figuring out different arguments to support my positions, with 看到不同的观点.
“I think that’s something you need in all careers.”
Feurtado hoped to test that theory by working in the financial industry after graduation. She planned to learn the business by working for a financial services company, then eventually strike off on her own as a financial advisor.
That job requires not only financial acumen but also additional skills, including a philosopher’s ability to fairly examine others’ beliefs, to help them understand flaws in those beliefs and to cut to the heart of an issue. "只是为了解决问题 in general,” Feurtado said, “I think 哲学 helps tremendously.”
