Philosophy


Philosophy is taught as a major subject on the Howard College and Pietermaritzburg campuses, and some courses are offered on the Westville campus as well. UKZN has by far the largest establishment of philosophers and ethicists in the country. As a result it is unique in the range and diversity of expertise that it offers. Our Philosophy section is also among the most vibrant, active and productive groups in the country. We host a significant number of conferences, produce the most published research, and edit the South African Journal of Philosophy. We stand out particularly on two fronts: ethics - both theoretical & applied ethics - and cognitive science.
The aim of philosophy is to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term.'' - Wilfred Sellars
