Master of Arts in Philosophy and English Literature
Program Overview
Philosophy
Philosophy has been at the core of Western intellectual life for at least 2,500 years. It is central to our understanding of the world and of our place in and interaction with it.
Philosophy provides the tools by which the presuppositions of all areas of intellectual and practical activity may be systematically and critically examined.
While there are different approaches that philosophers have taken, characteristic of philosophy is the emphasis on the use of:
- Argument
- Critical enquiry
- Rigour in reasoning
- Clarity of expression, including the making of pertinent distinctions
