Course summary

Philosophy can be transformative. You can do it for its own sake as well as for its ability to shape lives, institutions, and society.You might be full of curiosity and wonder, anger and injustice, confusion or a desire to make sense of yourself and the world. Philosophy covers all these bases. And more.The first year introduces you to the essentials of ethics, reasoning and logic while also expanding your sense of what philosophy can do. You explore Western philosophies from ancient Greece onwards as well as world traditions. We’ll also teach you how to apply philosophy to contemporary issues.In later years you're free to choose from our unusually wide range of optional topics. You can:- explore crime and justice, race and gender, politics and religion- examine emerging areas like environmental and social philosophy- investigate global philosophical traditions - Western, Indian and Chinese- take our new modules on sex, illness, recreation, and mental healthPhilosophy trains you to argue persuasively and think deeply.
