Philosophy from an Inter-disciplinary Perspective

The programme encourages students to adopt an inter-disciplinary perspective in the study of philosophy. Professors encourage students to look at the socio-cultural backgrounds that contribute to the rise of various schools of thoughts, so that they have a more comprehensive view on the development of intellectual history. Students are also encouraged to use the knowledge obtained from the Philosophy classes to analyze the causes and propose creative solutions for existing global issues.
