“I took the course Philosophy of Mind, and it was just absolutely fascinating. Philosophy represents the culmination of all fields of study. We're concerned with the questions that most people just take for granted—questions about truth, knowledge, morality, the mind, and human nature. Every single course I've taken here has just enlightened me so much.”
