文學碩士學位(哲學)課程

正常修業期限: 2年
授課語言: 中文/英文

Aims

The MA in Philosophy emphasizes both the theory and the practice of philosophy. The overall aims and philosophy of the Master of Arts in Philosophy are to provide graduates with a solid theoretical foundation and equip them with practical philosophical skills that can then be applied in a wide range of contexts, beyond that of a traditional professional career as a researcher or teacher of philosophy.

The MA in Philosophy is designed to accommodate both students with a BA in Philosophy and those whose undergraduate study is in a different field. For some it will provide a pathway towards research, while for others it will expand their intellectual horizons in ways that build on but go beyond their previous domains of study.

Features

The Master of Arts in Philosophy is a two-year programme which emphasizes a comprehensive and globally relevant approach to historical and contemporary theoretical and practical philosophy. It centres on the two great streams of Western Philosophy and Chinese Philosophy, while situating them in the context of world philosophies. It combines conceptual, technical, and critical thinking skills that enable students to gain a deeper understanding of both the history of philosophy and of the implications of philosophical ideas for our time. The programme will train creative and engaged philosophers who are conceptually equipped to navigate through the complexities of the 21st century.
