Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy
What is the purpose of our existence? How do we discover the principles which guide, or which ought to guide, our actions? Can we prove whether there is a God? Philosophy is the reasoned study of questions like these— fundamental, important questions. The study of philosophy introduces students to the main currents of intellectual history and provides a basis for a critical understanding of their own ideas. Philosophy is central to a sound liberal arts education.
StFX offers both advanced major and honours programs for those who wish to study philosophy in depth, and major and honours students aspiring to further study have been accepted at some of the best postgraduate institutions in the world. At the same time, students are encouraged to take one or more courses in philosophy to complement their concentrations in other disciplines. Systematic courses are offered in all the main areas of the discipline and the history of philosophy is studied intensively.
