Bachelor of Arts majoring in Philosophy
Adelaide University
Course Details
Our Bachelor of Arts has a strong focus on flexibility, critical thinking and career readiness. The Philosophy major is tailored for curious minds eager to understand and influence the philosophical discussions that shape our world. You'll explore big questions concerning reality, meaning and morality. What is consciousness? Do we have free will? Is it ever okay to interfere with another person's autonomy? Investigate complex issues - from the nature of time and space to human knowledge, consciousness and justice. Learn logical tools to analyse and resolve paradoxes. Engage in ethical debates on issues like abortion, emerging technology and personal obligation. Our curriculum goes beyond studying historical philosophers, focusing on contemporary debates, ideas and research. Our hands-on approach means you won't just learn about philosophy; you'll actively philosophise yourself, engaging deeply with the challenges of our time. You'll build a formidable toolkit of analytical, problem-solving and creative thinking skills, all highly valuable across a range of careers.
