“Philosophy” comes from Greek words meaning “love of wisdom.” Philosophy uses the tools of logic and reason to analyze the ways in which humans experience the world. It teaches critical thinking, close reading, clear writing, and logical analysis; it uses these to understand the language we use to describe the world, and our place within it. Different areas of Philosophy (e.g. Epistemology, Ethics, Metaphysics, Applied Ethics and Logic etc) are distinguished by the questions they ask. Do our senses accurately describe reality? What makes wrong actions wrong? How should we live? These are philosophical questions, and philosophy teaches the ways in which we might begin to answer them. Students who learn philosophy get a great many benefits from doing so. The tools taught by philosophy are of great use in further education, and in employment. The most important reason to study philosophy is that it is of enormous and enduring interest. All of us have to answer, for ourselves, the questions asked by philosophers. Students can learn how to ask the questions well, and how we might begin to develop responses Studying philosophy improves reasoning and critical skills.

Students learn about questions. Students are affected by learning about questions. Studying questions liberates us from prejudice. It helps us to think independently. The study of philosophy benefits students intellectually, spiritually, and morally. Students learn about the origins of those ideas and concepts that are our common intellectual vocabulary. As far as social relevance goes, Philosophy helps you to gain clarity. It also makes you see that your own viewpoints (morality, ethics, etc.) have no ultimate basis and are contingent on our socio-political background. This is an important realization as it ensures non-violence. Opportunities are plenty. It all depends on how the students compete. The future of the Philosophy course depends on how we make it live. Philosophy gives moral wisdom to make a good living and to richly contribute to the general good of the society. Career opportunities in Philosophy primarily belong to the field of academics, that is, opportunities in teaching and research. The students of Philosophy can also opt for competitive examinations for the civil services at the State and Central level or enter the field of business administration with specializations in areas such as Human Resource Development. There is also a possibility of taking up professions such as journalism, creative writing, etc., where you need to have a way with words as well as a very good grasp of abstract ideas and thoughts and sharp analytical skills.
