Philosophy professor Serenades Students
Dr. Huaiyu Wang, philosophy professor, once won second place in a national championship guitar competition while in college and has now applied his talent to his teachings.
Wang said he started teaching philosophy because he had an interest in different cultures.
“Philosophy is regarded as the foundation of all international pursuit,” Wang said. “It’s important to question your own beliefs and understanding other cultures. Part of a more mature way of thinking is understanding those around you and respecting each other’s culture.”
Wang’s classes incorporate a wide variety of knowledge, including politics, economics and religion from an objective and enlightened standpoint. In a world in which issues are more than double sided, Wang teaches students to know the world around them.
“Philosophy is an important subject because the world is connected in so many ways. We, as a human race need to rethink the relationships we have between cultures and with nature,” Wang said.
