Welcome to Philosophy at Otago
Nau mai, haere mai ki te hōtaka whakaaroaro
Philosophers ask fundamental questions about
- the nature of the world
- our place in it
- moral standards
- methods of reasoning
- minds
- language
and more. Philosophy is the systematic attempt to ask and to answer such questions, rigorously and analytically.
Philosophy means 'love of wisdom'. The study of philosophy is its own reward. A degree in philosophy is also an excellent entry-point to a wide range of careers.
Location of the Programme: Second floor, central and north wing, Arts/Burns Building, 95 Albany Street.
