Philosophy
What is Philosophy at Monash?
Philosophy is the study of fundamental ideas about the world we live in, about what would constitute a good life in such a world, and about what could be done to make it better. Students are not expected to be persuaded by the doctrines of any one school or tradition. Rather, we seek to deepen the understanding of a variety of different world views. Students are encouraged to express any conclusions that they themselves may have reached concerning fundamental question, but they are also expected to try to understand some of the influential conclusions that others have reached and what reasons they have had for reaching those conclusions.
