Program Details

Philosophy School: University of Toronto - Scarborough Faculty: Humanities Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Philosophy Description: Philosophy is the study of the ideas that shape our thought and activity. While we do discuss controversial issues in politics, morality, science, religion, art, etc., philosophy is more concerned with the ideas that underlie all such debates. We consider what the role of government should be, what reasons there could be to describe anything as good or bad, what proves that something is true, whether there could be a reality beyond the physical world, and whether the only value of art is the pleasure it gives. Such questions have been answered in a variety of theories, and any study in philosophy begins with learning what others have thought. Philosophy is offered as a Specialist, Major or Minor Program.
