哲学家思考世界上一些最严重的问题：道德行为的基础，人权，全球正义或我们与环境的关系。或者他们问有关思想，知识，科学，身份，性别和性行为的真正问题。无论发生什么问题，哲学家都将学习如何分析思想和论据，并进行合理的推理。他们还发现了思想史以及它如何塑造我们对当代生活的思考方式。学习哲学将使您对这些深刻的想法和问题睁开眼睛，教会您以哲学的洞察力和严谨性进行分析，很好地阅读，写作和推理，并建立演讲和辩论的技巧。当您思考有助于我们的社会，政治和科学实践的假设时，您将以全新的方式思考并与政治，社会和自然世界相关联。
Philosophers reflect on some of the world's most serious problems: the basis of ethical action, human rights, global justice or our relationship with the environment. Or they ask questions about what the mind, knowledge, science, identity, gender and sexuality really are. Whatever the issue, philosophers learn how to analyze ideas and arguments, and reason well. They also make discoveries about the history of ideas and how this shapes the way we think about contemporary life.<br><br>Studying philosophy will open your eyes to these deep ideas and questions, teach you to analyze them with philosophical insight and rigour, to read, write and reason well, and build skills for speech and debate. As you reflect on the assumptions that inform our social, political, and scientific practices, you will think about, and relate to, the political, social and natural world in an entirely new way.<br><br>An undergraduate degree in philosophy is the stepping stone to graduate studies or a wide variety of careers that require critical thinking, careful writing, or superior communication skills.
