Philosophy is the study of life’s burning questions. Can there be life after death? Is there a real difference between right and wrong, and how should punishment be used? Should non-humans have rights? Channel Plato and Socrates and tap into 2,000 years of wisdom to find your own answers to the big questions science simply can’t solve. The study of philosophy is intellectually stimulating and truly fascinating. It’s not just learning a subject, it’s asking wide-ranging, fundamental questions about humanity and our world and coming up with your own individual ideas. It encourages precise, rigorous arguments through logic, critical thinking and rationality - all of which are incredibly valuable academic and life tools.
