This course provides an introduction to philosophy as an academic discipline: its history, main ideas, theories, philosophers and ways of knowing. Students will have the opportunity to discuss and evaluate many of the most influential strands of philosophy, including Platonism, Hedonism and Empiricism and, by engaging with the thinking styles of the humanists, rationalists, idealists, sceptics and existentialists, develop and apply critical thinking and analytical skills necessary for university study.
