PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy investigates the big questions of life - it is highly sought after because of the critical thinking skills developed - especially in a time when people are losing these skills to AI overuse. Philosophy means 'the love of wisdom' and looks at a wide area of subjects - asking questions about the fundamentals of reality. For example you could study: epistemology, ethics and metaethics, philosophy of religion, metaphysics, political philosophy, and logic and linguistics just to name a few. You can specialise in specific modules you find interesting.
