Philosophy

About Department

The Department of Philosophy was established along with the college. With Academic Autonomy to the College, the department adopted a more skill-based and career-oriented approach along with socially relevant topics. The bachelor of Arts in Philosophy is a three-year course. The papers that are offered in Philosophy are one paper in FYBA, two papers in SYBA and three papers at TYBA. The entire course of three years offers to enhance the student’s ability to think critically, analytically and rationally about philosophical issues.

The philosophy major will equip students with critical reasoning and analytical problem-solving skills, expressive precision and the intellectual spaciousness to appreciate and engage rationally with arguments and points of view with which they profoundly disagree. Philosophy graduate will be well prepared for higher studies in philosophy or a career in e.g., media, law, business, or consulting. As the college is affiliated to the University of Mumbai, the degree received at the end of the three years is recognized by the University of Mumbai.

B.A Philosophy also teaches the students how to look at a particular thing from different perspectives which instigate the development of a liberal mindset. After having obtained the Bachelor's degree in Philosophy, the students realize an important thing - no viewpoint has an ultimate basis and is subject to the socio-political background.
