Philosophy is the attempt to understand fundamental truths about the world, ourselves, and our relationships to the world and to others. It involves asking, discussing and attempting to answer some of life's most basic questions, such as: What is knowledge? Do we have free will? What is the mind? What actions are morally permissible or impermissible? Studying philosophy at UCC will expose you to the most important philosophical ideas, thinkers and frameworks enabling you to address contemporary problems in a globalised context. At UCC, the philosophy department also has particular strengths in connections between the philosophy of medicine and society, questions we are all grappling with today.
