Program Overview

The word philosophy originates from the Greek word (philosophia). Literally, philosophy means love of wisdom : philo means to love, and sophia means wisdom. As an academic discipline, philosophy is concerned with the study of fundamental problems, such as those about the nature of knowledge, reality, existence, mind, language, science, and morality. It involves the broad and systematic critical questioning of the foundations underlying other disciplines. The Philosophy Group offers a range of programmes to students at NTU. Undergraduate tracks include the BA (Honours), second major and minor programmes in philosophy.
