“We are thrilled to know our resources for teaching Christian philosophy, as well as 19th-century continental philosophy (including critics of Christianity), will soon be greatly enhanced,” associate professor of philosophy and department chair Danny Muñoz-Hutchinson said, according to a university press release.
The Department of Philosophy at St. Olaf College will soon have a new endowed position—the Kierkegaard Chair in Christian Philosophy—thanks to a million gift to the school.
The donors have chosen to remain anonymous.
