GLOBAL PHILOSOPHIES & WORLDVIEWS

*course is subject to validation

The Global Philosophies and Worldviews course explores big questions of truth, value and what it means to be human in a world-spanning perspective. From African philosophy to Chinese ideas of ethics and the good life; from Hindu explorations of the soul to Islamic political thought; from Jewish existentialism to Buddhist mysticism: these are the traditions that continue to evolve and shape the modern world.

You will journey beyond the limits of European and Western-centred ways of thought. You will learn to study and assess radically different ways of thinking with sensitivity, care and intellectual rigour. A key question will be whether truth is one or many. Are there grounds for shaping a universal ethic and common standards of truth – or are such global ideals always colonial and destructive of differences?

Studying Global Philosophies and Worldviews develops your ability to critically engage with diverse perspectives and misunderstood traditions. This degree prepares you for careers that require cultural understanding and engagement with different communities, such as journalism, law, politics, education, policing, and human resource management.
