PHILOSOPHY AND ETHICS

Sub-disciplines

Environmental Economics & Policy

Philosophy studies are concerned with the general truths and questions about life and the nature of existence. Philosophy seeks to study the truth from a rational as well as an abstract perspective. It regards the general nature of human beings and the nature of their existence. The discipline has three main sub-fields: natural philosophy, metaphysical philosophy, and moral philosophy.
Ethics is the science of morality. Ethical studies are concerned with value studies and how these affect fundamental ideations of morality. It is a part of philosophy that deals with the fundamental values and moral principles that determine good human conduct. The sub-fields under this discipline are applied ethics, meta-ethics, and normative ethics.

Philosophy and Ethics examine human problems that are related to knowledge, existence, and moral behaviours. Ethical Philosophy as a discipline is concerned with the prescription of what is concerned to be the truth of good behaviour and bad behaviour. Philosophy and Ethics are interrelated and together set the principles that are concerned with the morality behind a set of values that are present in the society. Modern urbanisation and industrialisation have left no time and scope for a deeper understanding of the human mind and the true significance and purpose of life.

Students of Philosophy and Ethics aid in developing a deeper understanding of the veracious way of leading our lives. This discipline is ideal for students who are interested in Philosophy and Ethics and have a keen curiosity about the nature of moral truth, human conduct, abstract knowledge, and the nature and truth of human existence.
