Undergraduate Philosophy Degrees
Philosophy is the careful, critical, and reasoned engagement with fundamental questions of human existence. Philosophy addresses questions that human beings have always asked, though they may not have final answers. It asks about the limits of human knowledge, the nature of existence, values and morality.
At Lancaster, we offer a diverse and flexible curriculum. We cover non-Western traditions of thought, including Islam and Indian traditions. We place especial emphasis on how philosophy relates to practical issues – for example, in ethics, science, and politics.
