Program Details

Philosophy School: Bishop's University Faculty: Humanities Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Philosophy Description: Philosophy pursues understanding of our world in the widest and deepest sense. It poses and tries to respond to, a series of fundamental questions, such as what is truth. Reflection on such questions lies at the heart of university study and is worthwhile both in its own terms and as a compliment to study in other disciplines. It also constitutes good preparation for post-graduate work in fields such as law, medicine, civil service, and business. The Department of Philosophy offers a program designed to meet the needs of both specialists and those seeking to supplement their work in other disciplines. Majors follow a curriculum, which emphasizes three broad areas: the tradition of Anglo-American analysis and logic, the tradition of Continental thinking, and the history of philosophy in the West. Advanced students may also pursue independent studies of special topics in greater depth.
