University of Tasmania
Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationStudying Philosophy allows you to ask (and occasionally answer) the very biggest of questions. Philosophy explores fundamental questions about the human condition, relevant for people at all times and in all places, but equally arising out of the specifics of each life - whether in Tasmania or anywhere else. It considers problems and concerns arising from art, literature, science, law, religion, and many other human endeavors, along with the basic matter of an ethical engagement with the world. Philosophy also gives you skills in analysis, reasoning, and clear and cogent communication - highly valued attributes across all study areas in the Bachelor of Arts as well as contemporary professions.
In this major you will encounter philosophical issues from different perspectives across both Eastern and Western philosophical traditions. In the first year, you will study some of the central branches of philosophy - ethics and political philosophy, metaphysics, and epistemology.
