Philosophy

Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

Description: Who am I? Why am I here? As a philosophy student, you'll find these classic philosophical questions expand to incorporate much bigger discussions and observations. You'll explore philosophy in three different ways: general survey introductory classes that provide various questions and answers, introductory classes in specialized areas, and logic - the study of the theory and techniques of good reasoning. Philosophical questions have puzzled humans since the beginning of recorded thought. As a student of philosophy, you can be part of the debate and intellectual development.
