In the words of Socrates, the unexamined life is not worth living. Life is a perpetual enquiry where philosophy is the working tool of inquisitive minds that ponder on questions about appearance and reality, the nature of cosmos and man, god, soul, personal destiny and so on. At a time when there seems to be an ethical collapse in society, there is a parallel upsurge in the interest on bio-socio ethics.

The philosophy department offers papers in moral and philosophical issues, western and Indian thought, applied ethics and religion which contain the contributions of great minds down the ages analyzing issues of practical relevance to students, thereby Deeping their consciousness, broadening and opening new dimensions of human experience, laying down new ways of thinking, rationally and critically. Philosophy is an intellectual pursuit influencing one’s personal and social life and having an impact on one’s economic, political and cultural outlook.

Scope of philosophy
