A side question--did your professors at the Jesuit university ever require you to read St. Augustine, especially The City of God? 

I don’t remember that book. We had to take three required philosophies and one elective. I remember metaphysics, but not the other two required ones. They also dropped theology requirements equally.

And yes it’s kind of shocking a Jesuit University is moving away from a classic education, but it’s probably necessary. College is now seen 100% as a way to get a better job, and something like philosophy seems like a waste of time. And who can blame people for that at these prices? A lot of classes that were once considered necessary for a well rounded education are now looked at as a luxury. Hell my dad was surprised I only had to have four philosophy credits.
