Philosophy
An excellent foundation.
Philosophy – the pursuit of wisdom – deals systematically with values and concepts central to our lives as individuals and social beings.
Who we are. What we do.
We explore the rational bases of many areas of inquiry such as science, social science, politics and religion.
