Where PHIL-2005 counts

Counts toward 5 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • PHIL 3-YEAR BA IN PHILOSOPHY
  • PHIL 4-YEAR BA IN PHILOSOPHY
  • PHIL 4-YEAR BA IN PHILOSOPHY (STUDENT DIRECTED STREAM)
  • PHIL HONOURS BA IN PHILOSOPHY
  • PHIL HONOURS BA IN PHILOSOPHY (STUDENT DIRECTED HONOURS PROGRAM)

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

The philosophers may include Mill, Bradley, James, Dewey, Royce, Collingwood, and Russell. Possible themes are theories of meaning and truth, the relation between perception and reality, the controversy between science and religion, and values in a social context.
