Philosophy

The study of philosophy is concerned with the transmission and evaluation of basic beliefs and values about reality, knowledge and logic,​ morality and social justice. It provides a fundamental basis for understanding many areas of human endeavor, including scie​nce, art and literature, religion, communication, education, politics, and technology. It is not an easy field. But for more than 25 centuries philosophy has been judged most rewarding by those who seek self-development, intellectual sophistication, and the happiness of a reflective life.
