Philosophy as a course explores fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, ethics, logic, and the nature of reality. It develops critical thinking, reasoning, and argumentation skills by examining historical and contemporary philosophical debates. Topics may include metaphysics (the nature of reality), epistemology (the study of knowledge), ethics (moral principles), political philosophy, logic, and philosophy of mind, among others. 

Students engage with the works of philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, and Nietzsche, analyzing their arguments and applying philosophical methods to modern issues. The course typically includes reading, writing, and discussion-based activities to encourage deep reflection and intellectual exploration.
