The discipline of Philosophy has the distinction of being one of the earliest disciplines when the University of Jaffna was established in Jaffna. In fact, the Department of Philosophy started functioning in August 1975 with two temporary Assistant Lecturers, namely Mr.V.Kulasena and the late Mr.S.Krishnarajah, Dr.A.D.Kalansuriya, the late Dr.V.Ramakrishnan and Mr.S.V.Kashyananthan helped the Department as Visiting Lecturers. In the early period, the Department offered the opportunity to read Philosophy as a subject for the General Degree. Since then, the Department continued to provide courses for the General Degree and foundation lectures in Logic and Scientific Method for the first year students.
