CHOICES IN PHILOSOPHY
Department of Philosophy
The University of Hong Kong
2000-2001
- If you are new to philosophy, our four first-level courses all aim to
give you an introduction, and to get you thinking for yourselves. They do not
require any previous background in philosophy. All these courses are available
to students in different faculties.
- If you want to learn some logic, we have three logic courses which may
sharpen your mind, including CRITICAL THINKING AND LOGIC, a three-unit
self-learning course called ELEMENTARY LOGIC, and a more advanced formal
logic course.
- If you have already studied philosophy and want to take further courses,
or to major in the subject, there are lots of possibilities. We are a very varied
group of teachers, with different points of view, and a wide range of interests.
We give you as students the opportunity to help us decide some of the courses
to be put on.
- If you are a B.A. student going into the second year, note that your
choices include taking a double major, combining philosophy with another discipline
(including disciplines from the Social Sciences Faculty, like Psychology, Political
Science, Sociology or Economics), as well as the ``joint major'' programmes
in POLITICS & PHILOSOPHY and LINGUISTICS & PHILOSOPHY.
