Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy
Unlike any other creatures in the universe, human beings, seek
knowledge in order to find out the truth. Indeed the desire to know the
highest truth makes us restless and “we cannot rest until we know the
truth.” Through seeking true knowledge, human beings want to improve
their status of life. Since the beginning of human civilisation, there have
been different schools of thought that have impacted on human life and
progress. Philosophy is the major intellectual discipline that has helped
humanity to progress through the search of true knowledge. Philosophy
has shaped the totality of human life and in a particular way, their
thinking, scientific progress and technological advancement. It is an
undeniable fact that Philosophy is at the foundation of scientific
evolution and development, human progress and organisation,
understanding of the universe and all there is, and understanding of
reality in the most highest and comprehensive way. Philosophy can
rightly be referred to as the source of all authentic human knowledge.
Thanks to its methodology, orientation and goal, Philosophy is able to
arrive at the ultimate reasons, causes and principles regarding reality.
There is no subject whatsoever or anything at all that escapes
Philosophical investigation. It is in this light that we want to continue
doing Philosophy for we recognise that human beings have come a long
way in acquiring knowledge and progress thanks to Philosophy and we
know that it will propel us even to reaching the highest levels of
knowledge possible for human beings.
The aim of the Jordan University College Philosophy programme is
to provide a good opportunity, facilities and environment to the student
interested in studying Philosophy with to study the subject at university
level. The programme will give the student an opportunity to study
among other things, the origin of Philosophy, the different Philosophical
schools of thought, the major themes, issues and concepts addressed by
Philosophy, key Philosophers throughout the centuries, the contribution
of Philosophy in human life and progress, issues of societal
organisation, moral or ethical, political, human rights and development
issues, and issues related to human dignity and respect, duty and
responsibility, human knowledge and science, our origin and destiny,
God and the universe, etc.
