Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy

Philosophy starts with wonderment. Philosophers are prone to asking critical questions about humankind, the world and society, in order to shed a light on these issues by looking at them from all the relevant angles. Not satisfied with simple answers, philosophers will always insist on the quality of argumentation. In their search for answers, they delve deep for underlying motives and rational explanations.
