Course Overview
If you're interested in exploring views, ideas, theories, practices, and behaviors, BA (Hons) Philosophy is the course for you. Socrates, one of the most famous philosophers of all time, said "I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think.": that is a core strength of philosophical studies. In developing your ability to think well, you will be able to spot errors in reasoning, analyze complex issues and arguments, build a strong case, and make a point with clarity and precision.
Philosophy seeks to understand, and particularly to question, ideas concerning the nature of reality, value, and experience that play a pervasive role in understanding the world and ourselves. The philosophy discipline focuses on problematic concepts, such as existence, reason, and truth, which occur in every sphere of human inquiry, but more specifically on problematic concepts that belong to particular areas of thought and practice, such as politics, economics, religion, science, and ethics.
