Too often when we hear “philosophy,” the thought of old statues and<br />
ancient writings comes to mind. In fact, philosophy is alive and well<br />
and critical to our every day decision making and the decisions made<br />
by business, religious institutions and governments around the world.<br />
Additionally, examining the principles of philosophy helps in becoming<br />
a more ethical and organized thinker. These skills are critical for future<br />
managers. The logic skills gained can benefit anyone and especially<br />
aspiring lawyers who will need to present well structured arguments.<br />
