Description
What timeless questions have captivated philosophers for centuries? How can a philosophical pursuit of knowledge and understanding shape our own perspectives on issues such as the existence of God, the nature of reality, and the relation between mind and body? This subject will help find your own answers to these questions. The study of philosophy opens your mind to questions that don’t have easy answers but can’t be dismissed either. The subject will give you the tools to do philosophy actively and personally, enhancing and deepening your academic journey.
