Course summary

Philosophy has been at the core of Western intellectual life for at least 2,500 years. It is central to our understanding of the world and of our place in and interaction with it. Philosophy provides the tools by which the presuppositions of all areas of intellectual and practical activity may be systematically and critically examined.Year 1- You will study Greats: From Plato to the Enlightenment, Morality and Value and Logic 1. These courses introduce you to key topics in the history of philosophy, morality and ethics, and the nature of argument.

You can also choose to take Philosophy of Science 1, or an alternative option course. Year 2- You will take two courses in philosophy: Mind, Matter and Language and Knowledge and Reality.
