艺术研究生文凭（研究）-哲学

哲学（希腊哲学，爱，朋友，sophia，智慧）的研究涉及学习批判性和反思性思考，评估推理方式和进行建设性辩论。通过仔细研究西方哲学传统中的主要著作以及当代哲学著作中广泛提出的问题，哲学思想鼓励在写作和讨论中养成清晰，灵活和富于想象力的思维习惯。哲学本身可以作为一门学科进行研究，也可以作为对其他学科的有益补充。哲学理论对思想模式，伦理观点以及社会和政治态度产生了重大影响。学习哲学可以加深对当代许多中心问题的理解。一些哲学学科与历史，文学，政治，社会学和法律的研究很好地结合在一起。其他的则丰富了心理学和其他科
The study of Philosophy (Greek philos, love, friend, sophia, wisdom) involves learning to think critically and reflectively, to assess modes of reasoning and to argue constructively. Through a close study of issues raised in key texts from the western philosophical tradition - and in a wide range of contemporary philosophical writings - philosophy encourages habits of clear, flexible and imaginative thought in both writing and discussion. Philosophy may be studied as a discipline in its own right or as a useful complement to other subjects. Philosophical theories have strongly influenced patterns of thought, ethical views, and social and political attitudes. Studying philosophy can deepen the understanding of many central contemporary issues. Some philosophy subjects combine well with the study of history, literature, politics, sociology and law. Others enrich the study of psychology and other sciences, giving students skills in dealing with methodological issues and critically questioning the concepts, assumptions and structures of argument used in the disciplines.
