Do you ever think?:
What should we do? How should we live? What kind of world should we live in? What is the ultimate goal of life? How do we know about the things around us? What answers have great thinkers of the past given to such questions?
If you think about these questions and if you have inquisitiveness of mind to know the answers, the department of Philosophy, Rajshahi University welcomes you.
The objective of our department is to develop the ability of the students to enquire into the key problems relating to this universe and the lives therein, to define issues precisely and to criticize them, to learn how to construct and formulate arguments, to expose hidden assumptions, to develop open-mindedness towards ideas other than one's own, and to write and speak with precision, coherence and clarity.
