Philosophy and Theology

About Philosophy and Theology

Socrates was the first to call philosophy down from the heavens and to place it in cities and even to introduce it into homes and compel it to enquire about life and standards and good and ill” (Cicero).

The Department of Philosophy offers the Bachelors Programme and Masters Programme in Philosophy. Research programmes such as M.Phil and PhD in Philosophy are also offered by the Department of Philosophy under the auspices of the Centre for Research.

In an age of extreme competition, stress and early burnout, this training programme in philosophy helps one to overcome existential crises, to assume responsibility for one’s life and re-examine the experiential, creative and attitudinal values in order to achieve a more meaningful and productive state and style of living.

VISION

To promote rigorous and critical scholarship in Philosophy and Theology with native and contemporary perspectives for the development of the greater human understanding of the world and human selves.

MISSION

To create transformative dialogue and understanding between different schools of knowledge, faith traditions, and cultures

Message from the HoD

Helps one to overcome existential crises, to assume responsibility for one’s life and re-examine the experiential, creative and attitudinal values in order to achieve a more meaningful and productive state and style of living.
