Philosophy, Bachelor

At UB, you’ll learn how to construct a sound argument, evaluate the arguments of others, clarify disagreements and come to new conclusions. You’ll also explore how to promote productive dialogue by using tools such as clear premises, counter-examples and thought experiments—and discover how to apply these methods to a variety of topics within metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy and aesthetics. Some of the questions you might engage in include: “What is the nature of time?” “What tools can I use to make decisions or to resolve conflicts?” and “What is justice?”
