Filosofie

What is consciousness? What is the relation between truth and democracy? If our world is mechanistic, how could chances ever exist? When are differences in wealth unjust?
Philosophy is the systematic investigation of very fundamental questions. You are trained to think and write in a clear manner about topics such as the relation between mind, body and cognition, the nature and basis of moral judgements, the limits of knowledge, and the principles of social justice. A highly individualized program will help you pursue your own research questions and explore philosophical topics, within academia and beyond.
