Philosophie (BA)

A Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy teaches students to examine the world using logic and critical reasoning skills. Philosophy asks fundamental questions about the world we live in: about the meaning of human life; the nature, purpose, and limit of human knowledge; the character and contents of our moral experiences; and the justness of our institutions.
